Had an interesting first visit to Costco over the weekend (the place seems like a Tardis – much larger on the inside than it certainly appeared from the outside)!
Didn’t expect it to become a shed-related activity, and there was a very limited number of tools there (did spot a Lithium-Ion GMC cordless drill (guess there are still some GMC tools out there)), and a stack of ShopVacs.
ShopVac 20
Given the GMC vac I have been using occasionally is already threatening to turn into a molten lump of plastic in the middle of the floor, I thought I’d grab one of the ShopVacs (think they were about $70). The other reason I picked one was because of comments made in the past on this site when discussing dust collection from Festool power tools. Someone mentioned they used a ShopVac as the nozzle size was pretty suitable for Festool.

Ah well, it’s better than nothing. In a perfect world…….
Festool Vac with Dust Deputy Cyclone
……I’d have a Festool Dust Collection system, and even more ideally, with a cyclonic dust separator such as this commercial one from Oneida. That sucks 😉
