Tool Test: Compact Utility Vacs

Price: $80

Highlight: Disposable vacuum bag keeps the dust contained when emptying the unit.

My two cents: "Solid performer with a hose that locks onto the tank."

Tool stats: 20 pounds, 5-gallon capacity; 5½-horsepower motor generates 345 air-watts and 82 dB. Includes 20-foot cord, wall bracket, filter and filter bag, 7-foot hose, two attachments, five-year warranty; shopvac.com
