Review on ๐Ÿ”ฅ Enhance Your Shop Vac's Efficiency with the Shop Vac Disposable Collection Efficiency Collector by Junrey Jewel

An absolute must for every shop vacuum cleaner.

An absolute must for every workshop vacuum cleaner. For most people, having a standard filter in a shop vacuum might seem sufficient. When I first started working with wood, I just let the dust fall and then swept it up. My nose got blocked with fine dust particles and the next day I started coughing. I quickly realized that I needed to wear a respirator while working to keep very fine dust particles out of my lungs. I don't think many people think about the effects of particulate matter. If you use the Shop Vac a lot, you need to understand that not all the dirt stays inside. The standard filter releases fine particles that pass through the filter. Worse still, these small particles are thrown back into the air for you to breathe. This is part of the two part system that we now always use in our shop vacuums. Another HEPA filter. This catches large particles and keeps them in the bag. When it's time to empty, we throw everything away. This keeps me from sucking in more dust when I throw away the vacuum canister. Just remember that if you are using the "wet" end of a wet/dry vacuum you cannot do this as you will ruin the bag. The other great benefit of the bag is that it prevents larger particles from clogging our HEPA filter and causing an untimely death. FYI, they make collection bags and HEPA filters for most shop vacs. This (and replacing the HEPA filter) allowed me to turn a very cheap Black Friday promotion into an industrial cleaning machine. Some might think it's cheaper to just use a standard filter and throw away the canister; Have you checked the lung replacement price lately?

Pros
  • Power tools and hand tools
Cons
  • Flimsy
