And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I now prefer the smaller version but gall damn that thing is loud. When fighters take off in afterburners I turn the shop vac on to drown out the fighter noise.
I don't object to them being made of plastic, but I object to them being made cheaply. Used mine for water-leak cleanups more than once, it's a 'must have'. Also works very well as a poor-boy sawdust collector in my wood shop.
I have a DeWalt shop vac about half that size, owned it for maybe 20 years. It's never missed a beat. If the new ones are half as good as the old ones I would heartily recommend buying one if you're in the market for a shop vac.
I've had 4 for more than 20 years. From the little 1 gal one up to the giant 8hp yellow-black, wet-dry one. ALL are the "Shop Vac" brand. No regrets. Yes, all the accessories too.
Like some other things, in shop vacs size matters. Of the drum and the motor. Bigger the better.
ReplyDeleteA wet/dry shop vac can be a HUGE plus if you get a water leak indoors.

ReplyDeleteeverything about a shopvac is designed to kill your back and inconvenience you.
