Drywall vac, Power sander alternatives

JustMe

brdn,

I remember promising a few months ago on some other thread that I'd report back to you on how an over the shoulder drywall vac like this one worked:

I finally got around to trying it. It seemed to work well enough. One problem is that the supplier I got it from - one other than 'Big Jack' - said they don't sell spare bags for it. They recommended a bag used on some of the NuTone central vac systems as being a close fit. Places like Home Depot carry some NuTone products, including central vacs. Checking with some vac stores might also turn up some other bag alternatives.

The Big Jack site also has a power sander that I haven’t seen before - one that has a shorter handle option:

Might offer some help in those tight/awkward areas where Porter Cable sanders are too long to work decently enough. If anyone tries one, it would be nice to hear how it works.

Just like every tool. You have to know how to use it.
