Eureka Toolbox Vac

A "why didn't anyone think of this before" product from Eureka is called the Toolbox Vac. It's a combination toolbox and shop vacuum cleaner (or "shop vac"), and it's perfect for anyone who likes working with tools. Built around a high-performance, 6.0-amp motor, the Toolbox Vac features a powerful vacuum and blower port built into a deluxe, two-tiered toolbox constructed of heavy-duty PVC. Inside, a five-foot vacuum hose along with attachments, including a crevice wand and a dusting/upholstery brush, tuck neatly into the lid. A washable cloth vacuum bag makes cleanup easy.

In addition to all the vacuuming essentials, the Toolbox Vac also houses a variety of useful gadgets. A 110-volt auxiliary power outlet keeps on-the-job tools - from electric sanders to saws - charged and ready for action. There's also a convenient tool tray ideal for storing hammers, screwdrivers, wrenches and other DIY must-haves. Beneath the tray is ample space for toting and storing power tools and materials. $69.99 www.eureka.com
