    Snowy Battery Maintainers??

    Best Shop Vac model ever made?

    The fuel version has two power modes, low and high. Low still has good suction but is pretty quite. High has great suction and isn't obnoxiously loud but is still loud. Still quiter than my shop vac

    Best Shop Vac model ever made?

    Idk if there is a best, just matters what you're doing. I've got a nice stainless shop vac brand I've had for years now, works great for the big jobs and house demo etc. But last week I got the m18 Milwaukee vac as I wanted something handy I could leave by the drill press and lathe to vac them...
