Literally just did tons of research on exactly this cause i was taking way too much time using just a track brush. I finally went for the Dewalt 20v 1/2 gallon shopvac:
Reasons I finally decided on this one:
-Interchangeable battery
-Can be used wet
-Long battery life
-Strong suction
-Small and lightweight
-Hepa filter you can wash
Things you should know if you pursue this vac:
-There’s an 18v and a 20v version. They cost the same and aren’t interchangeable. The 20v uses the latest lithium ion technology and is more powerful, so don’t get the other one.
-Most places sell the vac only, which is $80, so you’d still have to buy a battery and charger if you don’t already have them (must be Dewalt).
-The link i posted above is a sweet kit that includes the vac, battery, and charger for $180 and free shipping. Buying these parts separately would cost about $270.
That all said, I’m doing my first test in the field tomorrow. However, just playing around with it I’m already impressed. I tested a Milwaukee portable vac yesterday at home depot and it was a joke in comparison.
Anyway, hope that helps!
