The DeWalt DC515K Heavy Duty 1/2 Gallon 18-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless Wet/Dry Vacuum is a handy tool with adequate suction for picking up sawdust, small nails, screws, drywall dust, etc.

DEWALT has another feather in its cap by combining the cleanup power of a wet/dry with the convenience of a cordless vacuum and come up with this innovative machine. I was in need of such product for a long time and was confused about what brand is better. I zeroed on the DeWalt vacuum because it uses a standard DeWalt power tool battery, have a washable filter, and was the only wet/dry vacuum of my selections.

I like the flexibility to use either the utility nozzle for floor spills and messes, but the 5-foot rubber hose comes in really handy for cabinet installers. Noise level is reasonable. Suction is adequate. Filter cleans up nice and easy. I recommend this product as it is better than any other vacuum cleaner and saves you the hassle of pulling out the big vacuum cleaner for messes.
