A word from the inventor, Joel Beaton

"Lets face it. Mixing mortars and grouts in buckets is the worst aspect of tile setting. We all know how bad the dust is to breath. Costly dustless mortars are available, but they don’t completely eliminate the dust. Save your lungs, try a WaleTale."
Questions & Answers
2 questions

What size hose will this fit?

The WaleTale fits on standard 2-1/4" shop vac hoses.

The WaleTale website says this comes with an adapter to use a smaller hose...does it in fact come with this adapter? We have all Bosch HEPA vacuums with smaller hoses.

These WaleTales will not include the small hose adapter.

Very disappointed. Didn't fit on any bucket. Slot needed to be readjusted. Then it requires an adapter to fit a shop vac.

Whale tale

by Jmtileman

This thing is amazing. I've been mixing thinset mortar for 20 years and am so glad this product was invented. It is great for mixing inside and it saves your Lungs. It fit perfectly on all my buckets and my shop vac. Most contractors are impressed that we care enough to use this and keep the dust down on the job. I highly recommend it.

AWESOME PROBLEM SOLVER

by ROBERT -

I RECENTLY WAS USING MY PORTABLE DUST COLLECTOR TO SUCK AWAY THE DUST CREATED WHILE POURING AND MIXING CEMENT BASED PRODUCTS. THAT HAS NOW BEEN REPLACED WITH THE WALE TALE. I WISH I GOT IT SOONER. IT WORKS VERY WELL EVEN ON A 17 GALLON UTILITY TUB. I DID NEED TO MODIFY VERY SLIGHTLY FOR THE LIP OF 5 GALLON BUCKETS. A LITTLE PRICEY BUT AFTER USING IT, THIS WAS A HIT AT ANY PRICE. MY LUNGS APPRECIATE IT.

Did not use with bucket

Used as a dust guard while sanding. Worked pretty well. Nifty adapter for the vaccuum

A must-have for any powdered product.

by Craig -

This has to be one of the best things I have in my garage. I am in the process of laying about 1,200 s.f. of tile, and I have been using it for both the mortar and grout. It sucks up just the dust and no "product". I was amazed at how well it actually works, no matter how fast you pour. I have even used it to de-dust new cat litter (dump it in the bucket with the Wale Tale going , and then pour it back in the original container). Works like a charm. Yes, it does fit various buckets differently, and might just take a bit more pressure to snap it on (better than having it too loose!). Have already convinced two co-workers to buy one.
