Re: Are COTS shop vacs legal? They have motors

I'm not the LRI at your regional, I'll be at the one across the street that weekend...

However, in spite of the fact that "Nothing on CD is official", I can assure you that a shop vac with the original factory motor, will not pass inspection. It has to have the motor replaced with a motor that came in the kit of parts.

If you would like more confirmation, send me a PM and I will get in touch with you.
