Wet / dry vacs We have used a wide variety of vacs (in a variety of price ranges) over the years and haven't loved any of them. They get a ton of use and end up being replaced every 6-10 months. Either the filters aren't great, the wheels break off, or they're heavy. Currently we opted for something lightweight and our Field Team are enjoying them so far. Nothing fancy. RIDGID 4.5 Gal. 5.0-Peak HP ProPack Wet/Dry Shop Vacuum with Filter, Expandable Hose and Accessories. They have to dump them out but because they're so light, they don't find it an issue.
