uses for wet/dry vac

QUESTION:

What are some practical uses for a small wet/dry vacuum cleaner? I have heard that they clean up spills and drain stopped up sinks. Anything else? I see them on sale at the local hardware stores and am interested in how people use them. Thanks.

ANSWER:

It also makes quick work of dry debris like christmas tree needles that your floor vac chokes on. I use it to vacuum out the cars. And I once set the hose at the entrance to a ground hornet nest (put some bleach and water in the tank).
I use a small wet/dry vac for lots of things. Among them are: Cleaning up after my two pet parrots Cleaning out air conditioning drain lines connected to a hand sander for dust control It would be hard to do without it now.
Some power tools (sanders and planers, for example) have a connection for a dust bag/collector. The end of the "wand" from a shop vac will fit some of these, creating an efficient and affordable dust collector. Just an idea!
