I need to stop spending money.

I picked up some Nato straps for the summer.

It's a cool fake tree about 5 ft tall with a metal rod running through it. Have to buy 2. I would say about 15lbs. Not heavy enough to stand through winds.
it comes attached to a small plastic base so I had to buy a larger concrete pot to put it in and added a lot of rocks to give it weight. A little bit of a pain but adds some flavor to my terrace.

New knife for the set.

Also I bought my leased F83 as the lease is about to end. So there’s that. Plus a blend mount, mirror tap, SmartTop and CarPlay for the F83, so there’s those too.

Thanks. Blend Mount is a radar detector mount and mirror tap is wiring for radar detector to mirror to avoid hanging cords.

Still waiting for SmartTop to arrive but looking forward to it.

I was going to buy a new shop vac in a month or two when we redo the bathrooms, but a leaky water heater pushed me to buy this one today. This thing has some serious suction. I cleaned the garage floor in minutes.

I’m in the market myself to replace an old craftsman I have. I want something smaller. Tried the cordless Rigid but no bueno. Need to pick something small and corded.

Uniden R3, which is many time better than my old 9500ix at detecting. 9500ix was a little more user friendly but nowhere near the same detecting ability as the Uniden.

The old one I had was tiny. And it tipped over all the time. This one rolls nicely and is way more powerful. I'm just miffed that you have to buy a separate foam filter guard to do any substantial wet vac work with it. I was able to suck up the water from the water heater because it was only a half gallon or so, but anything more would have required the foam filter. I'll have to order one or go back to Home Depot to pick one up.

I have the exact same one and loathe it.

Moving it is HELL, mind of it's own, total fucking wobblefest. Falls over relentlessly.

The suction on the wider head is non existent unless you suck up water

SO FUCKING LOUD

The clips are too small to hold the hoses in place when in blower mode

Clips are too small to hold hoses in place when you move

Did I mention moving it was a shite experience?

I haven't had any of those issues. I haven't moved it very far, though. Just around the garage. But it seems to have excellent suction.

That said, I see now I may have posted a pic of a slightly different version. Mine has a drain on the front and the one in the pic I posted does not. Plus I think mine is bigger.

While we've started to get a few sunny and warm days here in Colorado, it's still mostly cloudy. Weather outlook for Memorial Day weekend sucks... (I know - first world problems).

Same here. It is a bit loud compared to my other, small Rigid shop vac but I have a small baffle on the latter.
