Hi, Chaps

Its back http://www.lidl.co.uk/cps/rde/xchg/lidl ... _22297.htm I got one last time and its very good, the hose is a bit flimsy but has held to to me standing on it several times.

I always found it somewhat difficult getting consumables for some of these sorts of things that you buy from Lidl\Aldi. In the end bought a Karscher one - http://karchervacuumcleaners.co.uk/karc ... leaner.php for a little more than the Lidl one - admittedly a few yrs a go. Never had an issues getting any of the consumables.

What are you using it for? Dust extraction or general cleaning if so what machines is it capable of extracting from?

i got an older model for free on freecycle a while ago. Quite good for hovering the car and the workshop and good as dust extraction for my sander or router. Only downside is the noise, it drowns out the router but that makes it very effective for chasing the kids out of the workshop!

Hi,

Dibs

I use the paper filter in the vac and brush it out so I need no consumables.

I have used it for sanding routing on a domino, biscuit joiner, cleaning the car, sucking a couple of gallons of water from a garage floor blowing the barbque to heat treat metal, cleaning up the mess round the cat food bowls etc.

Its a lot quieter than my last one.

Not specially "woody" things, but are the screw extractors that are in the same bunch of specials worth the £3 they are asking?

Hi,

I have had some luck with screw extractors, but the last tome all it did was heat the screw up to red heat, which softened it and allowed me to drill the head off, so I guess it worked.

The SS drum has to be a good idea. I've got an Earlex, and whilst it's good value (and just keeps on going), there's quite a build-up of static in the winter. I can't help feeling that a conductive drum would help a lot.

"Hang on lads, I've got an idea..."
