<div dir="ltr">When I read the article, it appeared to me that this shutdown is just of their manufacturing facilities in Williamsport, PA, not Shop-Vac as a whole. They have manufacturing facilities in Binghamton, NY as well as China.

given the ubiquity of their products! Then again, it is hard for manufacturing companies to manufacture when the Pennsylvania government prevents employees from working....<br>

<div dir="ltr">I recently tried a dust deputy in line with my shop vac. I have been amazed at how well it works. It stops about 90% of the dust and particulate before it even gets into the vac. I used to have to replace my filters every couple months. Have
been using the same filter now for six months and it still looks like new. I bought the deluxe kit that comes with casters and is supposed to bolt on to the side of the shop vac, but I didn't like how they had that set up, so I made a cart to stack the dust
deputy on top of it. Overall I am very happy and I plan to buy another one to use with my other shop vac in the basement. <br>

Hopefully we'll still be able to buy bags that fit. I'm a big fan of <br>
using drywall bags in my shop-vac. They do a great job of catching dust <br>
before it can clog the HEPA filter.<br>
