Of course not.Â* But we don't have oil wells or refineries here.

But I only have 1 oil well in my back yard.Â* ;~)

I knew it.Â* You have too much common sense to spend $6-700 on a shop
vac, unless...

LOL, That multi hundred dollar shop vac, let's call it the dust
extractor, has run every time and as for as long as my 4 Festool
sanders, Domino mortiser, Festool track saw, and Kapex miter saw all
combined. Plus a few other tools. It is 13 years old. I'd buy it
again with out much thought.

When you look at the price of a high-end house vac, it's not all that
ridiculous. Sure, it's a lot more than a "5.5HP" Crapsman shop vac
but a $99 Hoover isn't a decent household vac either.

About 30 years ago I bought a Ricar home vacuum cleaner. Still own it,
and it was similar in price to the Festool vac.
Lite weight, built to last, could suck up and digest a quarter. But we
switched to a Roomba 13 years ago, on our 3rd now, and do not use the
big vac anymore.
