Major suckage
A couple weeks ago I bought a new 'shop vacuum' for the garage (of mayhem). While I already have a big, ancient Genie wet/dry vac, the thing is showing it's nearly 20 years of age, and new filters are nearly impossible to come by. I made an adaptor of sorts to fit a newer cartridge-style filter used in later models, but they have an annoying habit of falling off the motor assembly unknown to me, until I notice the vac spewing dust everywhere. While at Costco buy'n large, I noticed they had the Bissell GaragePro vac on sale at almost half the list price.
This vac is da shit. At a full 12 amps, this thing sucks more than being Republican. It also comes with a huge selection of tools geared towards detailing car interiors as well as general wet/dry garage and shop use. And a 32 foot hose.
I gave the big truck and the Strat a much-needed interior cleaning, finally able to get the bleached dead carcasses of bees and bugs that have been wedged for years inside the back glass of that car. It made easy work of Kodi's dog hair that permeated the interiors. Another cool thing is the filter can double as a nifty hat, shown here being modeled by Jeff. It mounts to a wall with a substantial bracket but can be used standalone as well. The hose length covers both bays of the garage with no problems, and the vac runs super quiet. Highly recommended.
The above post also brings with it a question - given the myriad stuff I use and acquire is there any interest in my making little write-ups such as this? I can tell of the neato tools, gear and gadgets out there that might interest people, and what I discover to be not worth considering. I can give some how-tos for some easy stuff that can be done around the house with common tools, you name it. I got all this space, and really do wish I can do more with it. Since I am looking at some potential extended recovery time where I'm stuck unable to do much more than sit at the console and pounding the keys, maybe this would help pass the time. It might keep me a bit more sane during that time as well.
