Choice_Branch_4196I'm wanting to get the 2gal Hercules from Harbor Freight. $85 and can be used corded or cordless. 5.0Ah battery and charger is $100 right now so for $185 all in you have a new battery line and new vacuum. I've been slowly getting more Hercules tools on top of my Milwaukee and I've loved every one so far.
Possible-Purpose-620I got a Hercules vaccuum from harbor freight
Revolutionary_Tale_1Wow. Expensive. I got a battery powered shop vacuum for under $100 at Harbor Freight. I already had a bunch of Bauer tools, so I had batteries for it.
Tym4FishOnI keep it simple and use a bucket head. They're so cheap I've got one for cleaning my garage and one for my smoker. Works great for me. Easy to store too, just grab a bucket when you need it. Would be cool if HF would carry one so I didn't have to go to HD.
