Garage Vacuum

I have a lidl/aldi one, can’t remember which! Mine is an ash hoover rather than a wet dry, but it bag less and dumps it into a metal container. Bought because it does get used to hoover up ash, but it’s mostly used as a workshop vacuum

Would get the same again if it died, but I’d definitely consider the screwfix version too

We had a Henry in the foundry I worked in when I started working there. It was used on sand, swarf, chunks of aluminium, oil and water. It was still there when I left 27 years later

I have a very old Dyson dc02 which essentially just runs as a motive force for this thing that I made. It’s a dust commander cyclone mated to a standard NATO container.  You can hoover up all sorts of crap all day safe in the knowledge there’s no filter or bags to clog up.  Really pleased with how it works and how little gets through to the Dyson.

thanks to this thread I just bought the vacmaster linked to above so that I can stop ruining our cordless with The Great Doorframe Sanding Of 2024

Dust pan and brush?

Bruce, my thoughts entirely. M-class vacuum for filtration when sawing stuff

I have a Nilfisk Aero 26, sucks like a dirty girl, nothing has stopped it so far.

Bags can be a bit pricey though, and i dont trust the cheapo versions, super thin.
