In Response To: Fein v. Porter-Cable Shop Vac Opinions? (Steve K)

Ilhave a fein vacuum. The one we own needs to be switched separately, meaning it does not turn on automatically when the attached fein multitool is switched on.

I have used ot for many applications, including some sanding in the house. It has a very flexible hose, and the wheels have not jammed at all. I have not been able to tip it over just by pulling on the hose. The connection from hose to vacuum is a snap on coupling. This makes for a positive lock, so no hose disconnect. Conveniently, the hose fits the dust collector attachment on our DeWalt ROS. I can't remember how much we paid for it, but I still think it is worth the money...then again I am german, so I may be biased.
