[TheForge] Wet dry shop vac recommendations?

[Bruce Freeman]

I don't even bother with a magnetic broom.  I just put a magnet in a
bag for sweeping iron swarf and scale.

As to a vacuum, the Sears 4-gal "clean & carry" model
http://www.sears.com/shc/s/p_10153_12605_00917776000P?keyword=shop+vac
is the one I use in my home (having no carpets, hence needing no powerbrush).
It's small, lightweight, bag-free, and it follows you around as you
vacuum - unlike most other models.

Of course, in the shop I just use an old clunker that I picked up at a
garage sale.

The total lack of evidence is the surest sign that the conspiracy is working.
