Great video! Why not get a portable vacuum cleaner for the crevices? I got one recently and it's made my life a hell of a lot easier in getting all the gravel from cracks and allowed me to process more.

fb, hell of an idea - battery powered ?
stronger is better, right - any recommendations good or bad ?
what about a gas powered shop vac ?
can a leaf blower work in reverse ? (with a basket before the impeller)

edit: should google first, a guy, Mike Davis, has coupled a shop vac and a leaf blower www.mdpub.com/vacpack/
looks slick
edit: these things been around since the '90s at least . . . . .

Milwaukee makes a nice 18v Li-ion powered vac. We use them on the job all the time

 

[Smithsgold]

I like it but at first glance, battery and charger is not included(?). Quick check added over $150 to the cost.

And a back-up battery At $60.00.

I like the first look at it except for the price of the bat. and charger, but wonder if it is a motor that is allowed within 100 yards of the stream in Kal. I may get one regardless .

What kind do you have; one of those gas powered purpose built ones.

You should make a video of getting it back up and running again, talk about the good and bad or it, how to clean and service it.

Do not see much of that, always folks showing stuff in action, but seriously when it goes down, then what, we have to read a book on how to fix it or run a youtube search. LOL

Just my thoughts,

The battery and charger on that Milwaukee do jack the price way up. One consolation is Milwaukee has a metric **** ton of cool tools that use that same battery. I’m fortunate that I work construction and we use Milwaukee battery tools so it’s easy to borrow batteries over a weekend.

 

[RTD-Tech]

I've been thinking about picking up one of these. I've already got the batteries. Big fan of Milwaukee power tools.

its convenient if you already have the batteries. dewalt has a similar one. ive thought about it many times.

I love my dewalt and its the perfect size, plus you can put six batteries inside it while carrying it which is very helpful when packing it in to remote locations. That keen unit above is pretty darn sweet, I wouldn't mind having one..
