If you had told me 10 years ago that I would someday purchase vacuum cleaners for the jobsite and shop that would cost hundreds of dollars each, I would have laughed. Really hard.
For years, we used the Fein Turbo Series. More recently, we have replaced them with Festool extractors, in order to gain the efficiency of total compatability between our sanders and dust extractors.
We still have several Feins that are kept around the shop and jobsite for general clean up, but for the business of sanding and dust extraction, we go for the more integrated system.
How about you?
