Hi all,
I am looking to purchase a workshop vac.
What should I look for when shopping?
I think I should get a wet and dry one. If I do can I clean out roof
guttering with it?
thanks for any advice.
Max.
Sorry if I sent this before, but I have not seen it on the list and I
really need help in the next day or so.
Thanks again.
Max.

In buying a shop vac it's a lot handier to have a wet dry model. I'm a bigger
is better guy so I'd say don't buy one of the smaller models that will fill up
and have to be emptied all the time.
I have a 16 gallon model that I've had for about 8 years now. It has sucked

All: somebody correct me if this is wrong please.
I have a Rigid Shop Vac, and I like it pretty well, accept that's pretty
loud. Also, you do have to take the paper filter off of it's mounting
before using it as a wetvac, is that right?
WE used to have some units that I believe were made by
It's definitely loud. I built a little rolling cabinet for mine and lined it
with acoustical tiles. The hose comes through a hole in the door and it
probably cut the noise level in half.
You are right in having to remove the paper filter before sucking up liquids.
As far as extending the
I took a visit to the local junk yard today. Hundreds upon hundreds of
cars in all states of repair. Some almost drivable, most in pieces with
airbags deployed.
I've never been that interested in cars, but this trip through the
ghosts of autos past has really got me wanting to learn about cars.
You're the man Bob!
I never thought of a pillow case, and, I beel the need to build something,
so the cabinet might be just the ticket. Did you use any specific type of
accoostic tyle or just the kind that are used in ceilings.
Thanks.

Hi,
I would like to ask how hard it is to tighten down a kitchen counter top.
When we turn on the garbage disposal in the kitchen, every thing on the
counter top wants to vibrate. Loud, are you kidding even I can hear it and I
usually have trouble hearing any thing quieter than a jet
Hi all,
thanks for the advice so far.
The model I am going to look at tomorrow is 1400 what and has a 20
liter capacity whitch sounds big enough for me.
How long is the usual length of hose that comes with most models?
Thanks again.
Max.

It can depend on the type of counter top. Usually there will be screws running
up through a wooden cleat that runs along the front and rear edges of the top
of the cabinets but some will have a steel corner brace at the top corners with
screws. The mineral types and the plastic ones like

I just bought a pack from Lowes. There was a set they had on the shelf that
claims to absorb 50% more. Can't say if it worked any better than any other
tiles but it does work well. They are 2 feet by 4 feet panels and I used
construction adhesive to hold them to the plywood. Just remember
If this is something new, I wouldn't worry so much about the counter being
loose. I'd worry about the disposal being out of balance. They wear out after
a while and it's better to get a new one than to ever have it worked on. I
know where I work the techs don't even work on them they just
That's about a 5 gallon tank. Just remember with that size tank you have to
empty it fairly often because you don't want it getting much over half full
especially with water. Not trying to sell a larger model I've just tried it
both ways and like the larger tank.
Lengths of hose depend on
You can Google about anything you want to know or learn about. Thousands in
tools is a good guess, and may be modest depending on how far you want to go.
If you get serious about building one, ask the guys at the yards you visit how
to register a car in your state. They have the car but
That must get some interesting looks in the DMV office. BLind guy wanting to

A friend has a car that beeps when he is backing up and gets near something.
It even beeps when he backs down the slope of my driveway into the road.
Can that kind of thing be purchased to put on my car that doesn't have it

I don't know about the beeping when you get close to something. That would be
a whole kit to install. You can buy replacement back up lights with a beeper
in them. The beeper is just controlled by the current running to the lights
like normal. You can get halogen back up lights which really
Hi,
I say it is just random disintegration.
So you still think there is hope with patching these bad places to
save the integrity of the drive?

Well it probably comes down to cost and what you find acceptable. The patches
will show but you can have a smooth driveway and get probably many more years
out of it. Eventually it may need resurfacing but this might only mean a thin
resurfacing. What it will cost you I don't know but ripping

We did a quick rub down of a friend's car once; and she said it looked a

I am unsure why you mentioned getting it on the glass; it wipes glass nice
too. :)
