1200W Wet & Dry Vacuum, 12L Stainless Tank, 18kPa, Blower

This is the small workshop vacuum, the one that fits in a car boot and lives under a bench. It picks up what a household machine cannot: sawdust, cement dust, broken glass, wood shavings, and spilt water. The tank is stainless steel, so it wipes out clean and does not rust after a wet pick up.

Twelve litres is a size chosen for portability rather than capacity. A carpenter clearing up after a fitting job, a plumber taking water out of a cupboard, a garage cleaning a vehicle interior, or a duka owner cleaning a shop floor does not want a drum on wheels. Suction is 18 kilopascals with 33 litres a second of air flow, which is real workshop suction and not a household figure. The blower function reverses the air through the hose, clearing leaves off a step or dust out of a corner the nozzle cannot reach. Quick release clips take the head off the tank for emptying, and wheels and a handle move it around a room. It comes with three extension tubes, an air regulator, a floor tool, a crevice tool, a cloth dust bag and a foam filter. The suction hose is 1.5 metres and the power cable is a long 5 metres.
