Review Summary

Shop-Vac’s compact Tool Mate toolbox/vacuum combo continues to exceed my expectations as I use it more and more while remodeling an old house. With a 21⁄2-gallon capacity, it’s handy for portable use where a larger vacuum proves cumbersome. Despite its size, this unit has surprisingly powerful suction, but not enough to sufficiently collect dust from a shop machine, such as a bandsaw or router table. The vac attaches to the toolbox, and can be used separately, too.

…

The stout and roomy toolbox has adjustable tray dividers to fit small tools and supplies, and when attached to the vacuum, makes a compact, carryable kit for punch-list jobs around the house. The 11⁄4"×4' hose and three nozzles store inside the toolbox lid. —Tested by Nate Granzow, General Interest Editor
