- "So if you need me
- I'll be downstairs
- With the shop vac
- You can call but I probably won't hear you
- Because it's loud with the shop vac on"
- ~ Jonathan Coulton - Shop Vac
We urgently need a shop vac. It is needed for every operation of dust-generating power tools (see list below). It is also useful for cleaning your workspace or the floor after you are done for the day.
Some shop vacs can also be used as an extension cord of sorts and supports continuous (manual) or automatic (depending on the connected tool) action.

Emptying the Bag
On a windless day you can empty the shop vac's dry bag into a regular trash bag outside. If you notice any damage to the bag, or dirt inside the machine, report it immediately and do not use the machine until a new bag is purchased.
