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.
