![]() ![]() Common FeaturesĪll of the dust extractors we tested are part of a family of products. Not every tool is designed for every trade, so I’ll point out my thoughts along the way as to why one model might be more or less suited towards a particular use and why. ![]() In this way I was also able to collect data from a wide range of performance issues that are common in the residential and commercial construction markets. A lot of the tools will have some crossover between the trades, but I attempted to use and evaluate them within several job site applications, including tuckpointing a fireplace, cross-cutting HardiePlank and spruce and mitering crown and base molding. As such, these four popular dust extractors will hopefully serve to cover a nice representative selection of products from across the industry and help in determining what makes a great dust extractor. To get a sampling of what was available, we collected four models to review: the DeWalt DWV012, Makita VC4710, Hilti VC40-U and Fein Turbo II (9-20-25).Ĭomprehensively reviewing all of the manufacturers putting out these dust extractor vacuums would involve a lot more space than we’re prepared to go into in the span of this article. The filters, technology and accessories involved in pulling it off limit the number of participants who can produce these quality tools and products. The reasons are obvious (to us, at least): dust extraction, while big business, has to be done right. While there are literally dozens upon dozens of wet/dry vacuums on the market, dust extractors comprise only a handful of manufacturers who are taking the plunge into this demanding, high-performance segment. More than just “shop vacs”, these dust extractor vacuums capture and remove job site dust at such levels as to make the vacuums of yesterday look like a dustpan and brush in comparison. In short, dust extractors and HEPA-ready vacuums are now a very big deal. ![]()
