Anyone use this vac ? It’s on sale. I’ve been using a little stinger vac but looking for something better. It has to be compact.

Those stinger vacs are startlingly loud. I’m thinking of buying the Milwaukee M18 vac. Anyone like it?

The Milwaukee M18 vacuum is great, has hi/lo switch and easy to clean/remove filter.
It does chew through battery though. It's perfect for service work clean-up, draining a toilet, etc.
I probably use it most to 'follow' my multi-tool when I'm cutting drywall or plaster.
For that stuff it's great, it's small(ish) and light. Using it longer than that you'll get frustrated with the battery, IMHO.

There are several m18 wet dry vacs so y’all might want to be more specific. I think I’ve seen 3 and there might be more.

One has wheels and is 6gal.

Then there’s the Fuel version of the tool box looking one.
And there’s a regular version of the tool box version.

Battery life and price is why I’m not a buyer. I think I read 30 minutes on a 8ah battery. I can get a corded model for 1/2 the price or less.

If the customer doesn’t have power then I’m not cleaning up. 🙌🤘👇🤟🤝🫱💪🫰

I’m looking for some leather boots and a belt that will match my Veto bag.

It also has to match my Rheem racing jumpsuit I wear while replacing water heaters. It’s white, red and yellow.

I tried to get ToTo to make me a baby blue racing suit to wear when installing their toilets but they couldn’t understand English in Japan. They kept telling me “ no diapers “

Right now I’m trying to get sponsored by Chic Filet and let them put their advertising on my van but they’ll need to make me a racing jump suit.

Mountain Dew is interested but they won’t let me chug 2- liters at shows but they agreed to the jumpsuit and to wrap my van and install green neon lights all over it.

There’s something about those branded jumpsuits that drive the women crazy.

Gues what ? The idiots literally sent me (2) shims in a box. Their mistake, I asked for my money back. I have it on record they told me 200 in each pack.

What the F, you got 2 shims! That's a scam!

Not interested in the HD bucket, it's flimsy.

As for the Corvette, sure it's fast but unobtanium here for the regular man, I called several place for a Z06, the wait list is 50+ deep, wait time aprox 5-10 years. Price tag for the Z07 is +-200K. Hard pass for me.

I have the 2gallon 18v Milwaukee vac. One my most used tools. I used to use it a lot around the house and on my boat. But I’ve sucked out way too many toilets with it to use it at home I should buy a new one

I have the M18 and really like it. I mostly use it for wet applications. It has good suction but I hesitate to use it for dry applications because the filter is very small and I’m sure it will clog up pretty quickly.

I’m a Milwaukee guy thru and thru but I bought a little rechargeable Kline led light model number 56403 (I’m not foot with technology or I’d send a picture) cheaper and better than the two small Milwaukee lights I have had. I liked it so much I bought the guy I apprenticed under one and he loves it as well. An electrician buddy of mine is buying solar street lights that are led and is using them on jobs for a quarter of the price of the brand specific lights out there.

Those lights are cool…..

Here are the things I like about it.
1. You can charge your phone from it.
2. long battery life per charge

Here are the things I don’t like about it.
1. You can’t pop in a new battery if it’s dead.
2. After a max of about 500 charges you throw it away, no serviceable parts.

Home Depot has them. Bought 1 a few weeks ago for one of the techs. Awesome for toilet change outs.
