this is why I am so tempted to just get the canister. I love my shopvac. I read on her that one can clear a drain clog with one. i'd have done that but the fat shop hose wouldn't make the turn in the toilet. Bozo (sorry, he was a professional) broke the toilet taking it off of the bolts to find a thick washcloth had been flushed by my youngin. I know if I could have gotten on that cloth, I'd have pulled it free.
