Hey everyone, I've been looking into getting a vacuum for sucking out crevices in dry areas. Does anyone know of a non expensive portable vacs that would work? And by portable I mean one that doesn't require a generator. I've seen people using something called a crack vac in some videos but I looked it up and it costs around $400... Didn't look into what that runs on.. As soon as I saw the price I exited lol.

Hey n8 I think you said in earlier posts you were in the sac area, if you look on Craigslist and search dredge there's a crack vac on there for $40 that was posted yesterday if that's what you're looking for

Check out my signature on a link I have on building a vac. I built it for under $275.00 and its better than anything on the market. Has lots of suction.
