Vacmaster 12-16 Gallon High Efficiency Dust Bag, 3 Pack, VHBL

Work great good price

The bag picks up plenty of dust and crumbs.

Easy to install, no dust blowback. Keeps the shop vac filter clean and extends its life.

I'm writing this from the perspective of a person that renovates old homes in New England. I pair these bags with my Vacmaster Pro 8 gallon Certified Hepa Filtration Wet/Dry Vac. The vacuum itself (which I need to write a separate review for) is such an incredible value. We buy these bags and use them for all construction dust. While the Vacmaster itself claims to be a wet/dry vac, the bags certainly do not handle moisture well. Bags WILL split if you vacuum up wet materials. For dry use, though, they're perfect. You also should not overfill them with material (ex. sheetrock or plaster) because bags can rip. If I had ONE thing I wish was different about these bags, I wish the guard for the neck of the bag was stronger. It often either (1) tears (if you have too much in the bag) or (2) doesn't block dust from blowing back out the bag when you remove the bag... even if you're very careful! 4/5 predominantly based on value, but 3/5 for durability and stretch.

Perfect fit. Good quality!

We sanded our floors down to bare, smooth wood. We used this bag and HEPA filters on the vac to control dust. The vac was attached directly to the sander. Between the bag and the filter, the dust was a fraction of what it could have been. It also made clean up so quick which helped when on a rental schedule (we rented the sander).

Good replacement dust bags!

These dust bags are the way to go for any shop vac. I have sucked up concrete dust and drywall dust with these bags and not a spec got past them. The proof of that is the top of my vac (which is black) stays clean instead of being covered in fine dust like most vacs I see. These also keep me from having to buy expensive cartridge filters which I use in conjunction with the bags but rarely need to change. I have learned to remove the bags when sucking up stuff that is not dusty or terribly dusty. For example when hooked to my chop saw or planer I use an inline dust extractor. That gets all the chips and most of the sawdust saving the bags for other uses. I keep these around the shop all the time and will be buying them again.
