Got to use these two today. The compact vacuum worked great used it on drywall dust even had to cut some aluminum tubing sucked the dust right up. The blower has some power used it to clean the leaves off my driveway and blow out the garage

So you know, drywall dust will destroy that vac. It’s too fine for it to handle, and it will fail.

I don’t have the vac but I have that blower and it’s a nice little blower to own for blowing off my miter say and benches in the garage or work area

Yea, even vac’s designed to handle it inevitably succumb to it sooner or later. You can read a lot of horror stories of people using home vac’s for drywall and wondering why it doesn’t work anymore.

I’ve burned up 2 drywall dedicated vac’s on it. It’s just that damaging.

Might need to pick up one of those blowers…

That Milwaukee blower looks surprisingly similar to the DeWalt.

Rego how do you like that vac thought about getting it but I have the dewalt one that works off the 18 volt batteries. That one looks really nice all the attachments store in side and its stackable

I want the M18 vacuum, but I’m always worried they are going to release a badass updated one right after I buy it!!

BigmikezMember since Jun 2013Oct 26, 2015 6:04 PM CT

I have yet to get a cordless vacuum I would love to either get the milwaukee or Dewalt one, I’ve seen utube review on the Milwaukee and they all say it had lots of power for a cordless.

I’ve had the M18 vac for about 5 years now. Still running strong. The 5 ah batteries made a big difference in it.

Cool stuff,ive been wanting to get the Bosch 12v vac for my collection.
