[Shop-talk] Shop Vac

[Paul Parkanzky]

I have this one:

WORKSHOP Wet Dry Vac WS1200VA, 12-Gallon Shop Vacuum Cleaner, 5.0 Peak HP w/bags and filter https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FBJSNSY/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_wFsxFbGY6TA60

I’ve had it for about four years and it’s eaten a heck of a lot of drywall dust in that time. I like that the hose locks in. I bought a coupler and another length of hose and that made it a lot handier.
