Hey everyone! I'm considering getting a wet vac mainly for job site cleanup, tool attachments for cuts, emptying toilets and cisterns, and drying carpets after leaks to help out dehumidifiers and fans. The Packout compatibility is really appealing since I can easily clip it onto my stack instead of putting it in a crate. I've found one model for around £100 and another Fuel version for about £200. I'm curious if the Fuel version is worth the extra money for what I need it for, or if I should just go with the non-Fuel model. Also, I already own the M18 hand vac (model cv-0). Cheers!

I've only tried the Packout version myself. It's pretty compact, but the suction isn't the strongest since the filter sits quite close to the base. If you're using it for wet jobs, I suggest removing the filter and leaving it out for dry uses too. Handy, but don't expect hauling power.
You might want to know that you can actually do a little hack with the M18 Packout vac. If you add an impact driver to your purchase and then return it, you can end up getting the vac for about £105. Just something to think about if you're looking to save some cash!
Just a heads-up, I don't think he's based in the US. But still, it's a neat trick!
Thanks for the tip, but I'm in the UK, haha!
Does the non-Fuel version have the same compact design, or is it not Packout compatible at all?
