Shop Vacuums

[Ashley Burton]

I bought a Wickes one for £35 & its great! My friends use theirs often as a wet vac

Those festool extractors have a deceptively strong suction, don't they!

I've heard they are good, quiet and some models compact the waste in the bag without losing suction so very clever . But I'm using a pretty standard numeric, similar to a Henry but bigger body, it can consume vast quantities, think they call it an Eric after Eric Pickles

Yesterday I noticed Lidl have air powered vacs. Are they worth having for swarf etc ?

I'd have thought not, looks like the swarf would have to pass through the 'motor' impeller?

In the end bought one of the Lidl air operated vacs. They work on the vortex principle so there is no impellor - just a clear hole from tip to bag.
