A tool to get excited about

[chunkolini]

an 18v hand held vacuum cleaner that works of my Dewalt batteries.

the DW version is about £`150 this was fifty quid so i figured worth a gamble; expecting it be half useless
I absolutely hate corded vacuum cleaners, Ive killed three of them. Henry is hidden out of sight the last one got booted down the stairs.
One at work got kicked to death in the carpark as it incinerated itself. Must have been hilarious to watch as the artiste blasphemed and booted the sucker around the yard with flames pouring out of it. Note; dont use domestic vac's as sawdust extractors.
Horrible noisy unstable things with a mile long lead. But good for when Im destroying the house
Cordless jobbie gets used every day, If I see stuff that needs sweeping up out it comes.
Inside of a week I can see the house is cleaner.
Whats happening to me?
The boy who gets his kicks throwing himself off cliffs getting excited about a hoover

He can live in with the spiders.

Work vans were a mess, then we were shown that a petrol leaf blower works a lot better than any vaccum

I use the makita battery blower on the yard. Open all the doors and blast it out. Much quicker than hoovering

Why not? If a bag & the filter are in place, they're quite capable of the task.

Ahem…I killed my Wickes vac using it to extraction my grit blast cabinet…

Autopsy showed the fan was starting to break up! Motor was fine…( salted away for a future job..)

Me thinks it's the continuous running that does them in.

I remember seeing a mate of mine sweep out his barn using his paramotor. Very effective but made a hell of a mess inside his tractor parked in a corner

That looks pretty good!

Also seems that the maker has a bunch of random bits that fit dewalt, milwaukee or makita batteries: https://www.amazon.co.uk/stores/Mellif/page/CF388DC8-C5AE-49F4-AAEE-FD2E707D334A?ref_=ast_bln

Of course, we can all safely(!) ignore this...

An ex neighbour was told his company car was a disgrace. He took it to local garage and pressure washed the interior ! Needless to say he then was looking for another job

The local police cars...the back seat is modified for carrying suspects, drunks etc.
Heavy naugahide bench seat, floor and sides all covered with spray on bedliner, and a floor drain.
The police have been known to stop by a car wash (the DIY kind) to wash out a car that a drunk has soiled, before bringing the drunk into the headquarters....
