I don't know if the still make them, but Shop-Vac used to make acouple of models that had removable heads that would turn into a leaf blower. That was the handiest shop vac I've had.

Other than that, they're all about the same to me

edit....Link to the Shop-Vac's removable blower vac (they have several).

Now, I am a little confused. Do you need it to blow or do you need it to suck?

I guess, mine works both ways as I see fit. This is what I got. With a motor with max of 6.25HP power, it works well for sucking anything in it's path. I used this for cleaning router tables, saw dust, and any other major cleaning.

Reverse the hose so it's connected to the outflow, and any shop vac will act as a blower. It's just more convenient if the head removes, instead of moving around the whole vac to blow stuff around.

Shop-Vac no doubt about it!

I would go with a shop-vac myself. That is your best bet.

It's a 18 month old thread. I think he's already bought one by now.

Maybe not what is seems. Maybe he bought something other than a Shop-Vac and now needs to buy another since his current one broke down.

Damn, I hate when this happens. I went back and I even said the same thing 18 months ago.
