Cordless Vacuums

Cordless vacuums and dust extractors keep job sites clean without tethering you to a socket.  Compact models clip onto belt hooks for rapid cleanup, while larger units collect sawdust and debris from sanders, routers and drills.  HEPA filters capture fine particles to protect your lungs.

What are cordless vacuums used for in a workshop or jobsite?

Cordless vacuums are designed for quick, mobile cleanup of:

• Wood dust, shavings, and sawdust

• Drywall dust and light debris

• Metal chips or workshop scraps
  Many models are also used for vehicle detailing, HVAC work, and construction sites, thanks to their portability, strong suction, and durable housings.

Can cordless vacuums handle wet and dry materials?

Yes—wet/dry cordless vacuums are common and can safely handle liquids, damp debris, and fine dust (depending on the filter setup). Look for:

• HEPA or fine dust filters for drywall and sanding applications

• Foam filters or tank liners if using for wet spills
  Always check the product specs to confirm whether your cordless vacuum is dry-only or wet/dry compatible.

What should I consider when buying a cordless vacuum?

Key features include:

• Tank capacity (typically 4L–10L for cordless units)

• Suction power (air watts or kPa) and airflow rating (L/min or CFM)

• Filter type and replaceability (HEPA, fleece, foam, etc.)

• Hose length, nozzle attachments, and integrated storage
  Also ensure battery compatibility with your existing cordless platform (e.g. 18V or 36V systems) to avoid extra battery/charger costs.
