I have a Shop Vac wet/dry vac. The shutoff switch that shuts off the

is
more than I paid for the whole vacuum. Does anyone know where I can
get the
switch? If not, does anyone have any ideas on how to fabricate one? If
I
cannot repair it, I will not buy another shop vac, does anyone know if
any
other brands will sell parts?
Thank you very much,

Did you ever notice that shop vacs make lots of noise and suck very little?


Yes, they are like that when they are full. It's shameful.

At least when they're not full they suck very well.
