Re: best auto vacuum system

i used a metro for 5 years before it wore out, had no complaints at all except for the price. i now have a hoover g.u.v. which works just as well and comes with all the attachments. i use mine at least twice daily and have had no problems
good luck!

I've got a Ridgid wet/dry as well and it works GREAT for cleaning up the interior and my garage or any other job that I have for it.

I really like the look of the compact rigid model. I am going to have to make it over to HD or Lowes.

I like the smaller hose, and small attachments, as that is my main problem is hard to reach areas.

FWIW, I have heard that the some if not all Sears wet/dry vacs are made by Ridgid. They do have a 5hp compact that looks very similar to the Ridgid. Not the "Tool Box" one, the regular one.

I have a pretty basic decent sized wet/dry shopvac, that gets the job done for me.

I have found that this little 1 gallon hang up shop-vac is very well suited for the job, and most importantly it doesnt cause hearing loss! The accessories make getting into the tough spots a cinch.

Re: best auto vacuum system

i have a sweet Eureka Central Vac in my garage. i covered the hose with this hose cover thingie and got all these fancy attachments with it.

works like a charm.

Sears are not made by Ridgid. Home depot bought Emerson, the company that used to make all of the Craftsman stationary products and shop-vac's, years ago. Most of Craftsman is now imported to increase margin. The Ridgid has a lifetime warranty on every tool they sell, that includes shop-vac's, stationary tools, and cordless tools. Best product out there for the money in my opinion. My 18 volt Ridgid Drill outperforms my Dewalt by a good margin. Anyway, I highly recommend the Ridgid. Good luck

I use to have one of those, but the impeller(i guess thats what its called?) came off the motor. stripped plum out.

I ended up getting a 5 gallon shop vac from walmart. Its not to loud and it does what I need it to do just fine.
