Off-topic I know, but I just nabbed a Rigid 9-gallon,
3.5 hp shop vac
for $19.97+tax. 7 foot hose, 10 foot cord. At your local Home Depot.
They have one that's the same or similar (Rigid, 9-gal, 3.5hp) in the
tool aisle for $58. This was in the front of the store. Someone from
Atlanta bought them too, I'm in WI. If anyone asks, I'll let you know
the pros and cons of the unit.
Hmm, karma, or something. I was just staring at a vacuum cleaner motor and
empty 5 gallon paint can earlier in the workshop's junk pile and thinking of
possibilities (actually along the lines of dust extraction for my miter saw -
the lack of any being the main reason I'd want a shop vac).
I happen to be off to HD in a minute, too...
I have a feeling though that the front-of-store offers are set to a certain
extent locally according to what inventory they have, what's slow-moving etc.,
so they may not be that price everywhere.
