    Huh, I don't have 2 shop vacs - so, in the mean time, I'll keep using the "yellow" shop vac bags- they work great, as long as you don't suck up any metal or sharp stuff. As a side note, you can pull the seam loose, empty the bag and staple it back together- voilà! new bag!

    I have two shop vacs. I am running out to the box store in a few minutes to buy a third one so I can get the second one clean as the first. Great tip!:D

    My reasoning with vacuuming the shop area is to collect as much crap as possible, taking up floor space, thereby creating less area to vacuum.

    I have a nice Dayton wall mount that I bought for the metal drill press at work - easy on/off and a strong one for its size.
    I kick myself for not buying one for my own garage when my last shop vac quit(after multiple attempts to re-solder the brushes)

    A little lighthearted humor is gooder for the soul.

    I can't believe I scrolled thru the comments first and wasted the 1:35 watching the video.

    Curse: May papadave have to shovel snow again this weekend.

    This is actually not a bad idea, he's just doing it all wrong.
