Vac Rack Saves Your Back
Apr 02, 2014
Recently, during a long stretch of using a router on my workbench, I realized that reaching down time after time to retrieve the hose for my shop vacuum from the floor was making my back ache. I tried setting the hose on the bench, but that didn’t work.
So I fastened a spring clamp to my workbench vise and then hooked my vacuum hose over one of the handles. Now it’s always within reach. The setup worked so well I added my brush nozzle to the other handle of the clamp.
