A shop vac for the shed

Other Al: whatcha go there Al?

Al: ummmm did you read the title or look at the pic?

Other Al: Nah putting my feet up, was gonna do it later. 

Al: sigh. Well what we have here is a 20l shop vac wet / dry vacuum. 

Other Al: cool! Does it suck?

Al: you bet! The last cheap vac I used had less suction power then an under water sealed drainage unit off suction. This is right up there with a dyson. 

Other Al: great! Any cons?

Al: only that it doesn't have the ability to plug a power tool into it, and it will start when the power tool does. If we were in America this would be a quick trip down to a big box store and $20 later we'd have a small box that could sort that right out. But Australia being the nanny country that's not gonna happen here.  

Other Al: soo yah sort it out?

Al: of course!

Al: said box doesn't exist in 240v that I could find and costly and difficult to build from scratch, so I moved the power switch to the handle, not pretty but works fine. And only cost $10 for a 10m extension lead to cut up for the wire and some electreral tape. 

Other Al: nice solution, maybe one day you'll build a voltage sensing box.

Al: yeah, I'll add it to the list. Right under building a CNC machine. 

Al: till next time.
