With ongoing delays and rising costs because of tariffs, I'm seriously considering giving up on waiting for either of these products. The official site for the M18 9-Gallon Dust Extractor used to link to nearby stores, but it now just has a sign-up option for updates. There have been various rumors floating around, with some mentioning a release between Q4 2024 and Q1 2025. It seems like countless 'insider sources' claim these dust extractors will hit the shelves any time now. So, what do you think will actually come out first, Half Life 3 or this dust extractor?

I’ll put my money on the dust extractor coming out first, no doubt. Valve has a serious problem with releasing the third installment of any game, and they just can’t seem to get to it after all this time.
I think there's a better chance of getting the rolling drawer box before either of those, honestly. But who knows, with all the hype around Prime 4, maybe the dust extractor will pop up sooner than expected too!
Honestly, you'll probably get the dust extractor long before you see Half Life 3. At this point, many people joke that it's more likely we'll see a headstone for our hopes of HL3 than the actual game. Plus, isn't it good they're taking their time with the dust extractor to avoid tons of issues?
Yeah, but I can't shake the feeling that supply chain problems are the real reason for the wait, rather than just focusing on quality.
