The Dewalt cordless wet/dry vac, think I’ll go in to work tomorrow just to try it out. Few small messes here and there, anyone have this product? How is it?
which model you talking about?
i think we never really talk about this specific vac. (since im here 😛 )
I had the older 18v one it worked great for its size I didn’t give me any probs. Let us know how u like Robert.
i have the other model that you can plug in .
I think its great. suction is good for what you use these vacs for.
this little tool has got me loads of work from referrals. everybody loves a tradesman that cleans up afterwards.
Used it quite a bit yesterday, for about 4 hours off and on cleaning up after myself. Was cleaning up sawdust mainly, was able to suck up anything except for nails/screws. Though I haven’t had a shop vac that could pick up nails or screws yet. Overall I like it, don’t know how much I like it yet. Time will tell.
The thing works awesome dude. 5ah batteries work a long time on the tool.
I had, end up selling it. Was not impressed with the suction. Kind of like one of those little vacs u get for your car.
looks like it might be a little under powered. Are you buying it?
Been using it all week cleaning up after myself, I really like it. Suction seems fine for what I’ve been doing, sucking up sawdust, concrete debree. Only thing it won’t pick up are nails or screws or objects larger than the mouth of the hose. Cleaned out my vehicle with it as well which was long overdue.
I will say that the suction on these vacs isn’t a good as a full size models. but that is not why you buy one of these. you buy it for convenience on site where you make a small mess in a few locations.
I did a job yesterday putting up curtain poles . sds in one hand hose in the other. no dust. I went from room to room really fast because there was no cords holding me back
about 2 months ago I was working on a site but we had to stay late a few evening in the shop section after hours
it wasn’t worth going home so I ate in the van and then use the vac to clean it. I even had glass cleaner etc with me to do the windows
I got a few funny looks but I didn’t car. there wasn’t enough suction to properly clean the carpet but it got all the loose dirt.
