I'd love to tell you I told you so but sometimes it just isn't that simple...

Who is the winner in your eyes? Festool Extractor or Ridgid Shop vac? Why??

It's no secret that I'm not the biggest fan of the Ol' Ridgid shop vac for shop dust collection. I personally prefer my Festool dust extractor but hey...not everyone has a money tree growing in their front yard. 🤷‍♂️ So I set out to try and see if the Festool really is better than the Ridgid and if so...by how much!? To do it I used a bit of hocus pocus, a large amount of bias and a pinch of actual science.

Enjoy!
