[Shop-talk] What is this called?

[Karl Vacek]

There are specialty companies that sell heavy duty vacuum parts.  Car 
washes, for instance, repair their vacuums all the time.

I have a newer Sears shop vac but opted to fix my old one as well because 
it's a far better form factor, being based on a 20-gallon steel drum.  The 
new vacuums are excessively wide and take up valuable floor space.  And 
while I always thought the old one was loud, now that I have both working, 
the old one has more power (same exact replacement motor) and the new one 
is louder.
