Sweet Little Vac!!
Anyone else get one of these?
I hate the giant vacs, and I hate sucking up real nasty crap with my Festool CT-22. Works on any bucket and only 20 bucks!!

Re: Sweet Little Vac!!
Have never seen one of those. I can figure out where the bucket came from, but what about the vac part?

Re: Sweet Little Vac!!
Any link to this on the HD site? I looked and checked the Ridgid site too, no luck with either.

Re: Sweet Little Vac!!

The only place I saw it was in the store flyer. It was in the one on-line as well.

Re: Sweet Little Vac!!
I saw those at HD in the last couple of days. Kind of wondered how well they worked. I have a Rigid vac. small and pretty powerful, good for dw dust but noisy. I think it was like $60.

Re: Sweet Little Vac!!
I used it in the store before I bought it.
You probably wont be able to pick up 20d sinkers with it but, it will pick up quite a bit. Best part is, I bet everyone has an extra bucket at all times.

Re: Sweet Little Vac!!
The first lil 5 gal Shop-Vac brand vacs had metal cans that rusted out.
After a couple, we figured out that the head fit right on a fiver... Just like this

Re: Sweet Little Vac!!
That looks perfect, I'll have to stop by HD and see if they carry it. I've been pretty impressed with the rigid vacs, and if Warner likes it, it must live up to the same high expectations as other Rigid vacs.

Re: Sweet Little Vac!!
When you can store it in the bucket I'll be interested, till then the little ridgid we use is 5.0 HP, smaller and works forever with any amount of abuse.
** But that does have a cool, neat-o factor to it.

Re: Sweet Little Vac!!
Saw those over the weekend. Looks chintzy, and since I have a good Ridgid, I curled my lip at it.
But I gotta admit, that's a sweet throw-away price. |

Re: Sweet Little Vac!!
I am trying to lean down and not have to carry around a bunch of extra crap.
I just bought a 20' trailer this summer and I can't get anything any bigger. I tell you what, this bucket top vac really sucked!!

Re: Sweet Little Vac!!
How's it work on water?
If its half decent on water I'm gonna get one for the dirty stuff! Having the ability to suck up liquids and carry out in a bucket sounds great! Instead of cleaning all the drywall dust out of my other vacs. |

Works great with water. Just take the paper filter condom off first. I am telling you, this is genious, for 20 bucks!

Re: Sweet Little Vac!!
I went to the store to see if they had one, and ended up buying one. The first impressions are good, and the noise isn't horrible. I haven't stuck it on a bucket yet, so I don't know what the suction is like, but the blower side certainly puts out a lot of air, so I have no doubt that it will have plenty of suction.
