Whether it’s the result of a major flooding disaster, or the more usual instances of dirt and debris onsite, a wet and dry vacuum is a versatile piece of equipment for tackling clean ups. With the capacity to clean all types of solid and liquid waste, including gullies, drains and spills as well as dust, scraps and large debris, wet and dry vacuums are an essential piece of cleaning equipment for most trade environments including factories, building sites and garages.

However, not all wet and dry vacuums are created the same, and different models will have a variety of functions tailored to suit particular environments. From the carpenter, electrician, plasterer, painter, builder or those on construction and demolition sites, onsite knocks and collisions are an everyday occurrence and a key factor to consider when investing in a wet and dry vacuum is durability.

“Hardwearing equipment is essential for the tool-conscious tradesperson. To ensure longevity in keeping their cleaning tools in tip-top shape, it’s important to invest in quality items. The products will not dent, no matter what they’ve collided with on the worksite,” Mayo Hardware DeWalt wet and dry vacuum product manager Chiara Vozzo says.

“As is the peril of many a tool on the worksite, once an item gets dented, the damage is irreversible.”

Boasting key, stand-out features, the versatile range includes a number of models, each equipped with the same robust attributes and heavy-duty performance capabilities in a lightweight design. Offering maximum performance, even in the toughest conditions, the range is designed to meet the demands of every trade environment and is available in a variety of sizes. From the more compact and portable 15L model to the 61L design which features a powerful 1400W motor.

Furthermore, with DeWALT’s range of polyurethane vacuums, there is no chance of rust or corrosion.

“As the equipment is often used outside, the elements will almost certainly affect the stainless-steel drum over time which may lead to rust, corrosion and a dramatically reduced lifespan,” Chiara adds.
