So, I went to Lowes to get a new filter bag for my 5gal shopvac and I'm like "did Lowe's stop carrying shopvac?" as I didn't see the distinctive blue. As I get closer, i see that shopvac has changed their color scheme to black with red accents. At first I was like, "this looks like cheap chinese crap now." After finger fucking a few of the models I was convinced that they are indeed now completely cheap chinese crap. Disappointing.



And, no Maglight Christmas flashlight sale. Some garbage utilitech lights that looked like some asian tried to imagine what a big black dick looked like and made the flashlight in that image. $24 too! So disappointing.



I didn't check to see if they took another 1/32 off the plywood.

You must not be looking in the right places.  The Shop Vac factory in Binghamton, NY is still pumping those things out by the truckload.

I use shop vacs on two pieces of automated equipment, processing brass.  needless to say, I've put alot of hours on these vacuums.  Had them for years and they're still going strong.
