Hey guys, stumbled on a Dewalt DXV12S for $50 at a pawn shop. It's a 12-gallon shop vac, looks barely used. I already have a ridgid 6 gallon but this seems like a steal. Anyone have experience with this model? Is it worth grabbing?

For $50, I'd grab it even as a backup. I use a similar size for construction cleanup. Those Dewalts are tanks. just make sure the filter's good and check for cracks in the tank. If it runs, it's a no-brainer.

I have that exact model. It's pretty solid but check the hose diameter - it uses 2.5" which is fine but some accessories are 1.25". Also, the filter might need replacing soon if it's used. $50 is a good price if everything works.

Thanks guys! I'll go back tomorrow and give it a once-over. Might just keep it in the truck for quick jobs.
