wet dry vac
Dual-purpose suction cleaner
A wet dry vac is a vacuum cleaner designed to handle both liquid spills and dry debris—unlike standard vacuums that can only suction dry material.
The canister design and sealed motor allow it to safely collect water, sawdust, drywall dust, and other workshop messes.
Common in garages, construction sites, and basements: I used the wet dry vac to clean up after the pipe burst.
