VCF is planning on purchasing a shop vac. Does anyone have any experience with Milwaukee or Ryobi brands? If so, which would you recommend We are looking for the battery operated models.
While I'm all about modern power tools using batteries, I would have to wonder why that would be important for a shop vac. If you're dragging it to job sites I can see the benefit, but for most people a shop vac sits in "the shop" where power is readily available. It just seems like in many cases for a shop vac the added complexity related to battery life, recharging, number of charge cycles, replacement etc isn't worth the cost. A traditional AC powered shop vac relatively inexpensive and stupid simple (cord, switch, motor) and I know numerous people who have been using their Shopvac or Sears models for decades without failure/replacement.
