5 Gal Wet/Dry Vac for Drywall Projects
QUESTION: I'm trying to pick 5 gal wet-dry vac for general use in my home
renovations, but in specific, I need it to handle the dust that will
be created in several drywall projects I have on my priority list.
Does anyone have experience with any? I found the ShopVac Drywall Vac
on Amazon. Is that the way to go, or are there others I should
consider?
ANSWER: I don't know if there are any real discernable differences in the makes out
there. I own both Shopvac and a bigger Rigid. I went to the Rigid because
it had a container versus bag to collect dust, etc. Mind you the shopvac is
quite old. Regardless, there is a special filter for dust collection. Make
sure you have this in.
My son does drywall work and picked up a "dustless sanding system" at HD
that consists of a sanding screen holder that attaches to a long hose that
goes into a 5 gal. bucket half filled with water, a hose from the bucket
goes to a vac of your choice, most of the dust is trapped in the water,
works great, around $30 bucks. After seeing it I think you could make one
for about $5.
I have the "Magna MT800 Sand & Kleen Hand Sander System" which I bought
from Amazon. Without it your vacuum cleaner will become plugged up very
quickly.
