Hi,

I need a vacuum cleaner which is small and easy to handle to get into all
the nooks and crannies around pipework etc. to clean up dust, swarf et al.

Using the main domestic vac is a pain because it is too cumbersome.

The little B&D dustbusters seem a joke - especially with an 8 minute run
time :-(

I saw this in B&Q

llets=999
which looks a reasonable solution - also designed to suck dust from power
tools :-)

Does anyone have experience of this, and how effective it is?

I note that it is only 600W whereas compact domestic vacs from Argos e.g.

http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/st...y?storeId=1000
1&langId=-1&catalogId=1001&productId=64736
are 1400W i.e. over twice the power.

I agree with other posters. Henry every time, its perfect for sucking up any
kind of crud, plaster dust you name it.
Easy to empty & doesn`t clog up providing you empty it reasonably often.
Cheeper on Ebay :-)
