Clean Shop Allies

Keeping your shop clean and tidy takes time away from the fun stuff — like making messes while shaving, chopping, or sawing away at your current project. We’ll take a look at three products that help you stay clean, tidy, and orderly while you’re working in your shop. Let’s start with a kit that takes some of the hassle out of emptying your dust collector.

THE DUST COLLECTOR HERO

The Dust Collector Hero is a kit that replaces the dust collection bag on your dust collector. Here’s a quote from their website on what the “Hero” does. “The Hero is an air tight chamber that eliminates the need for a bag or drum to be directly connected to the dust collector debris outlet. An optional DC Guard Dog gently reminds users when the catch container needs attention to avoid overfilling and causing an awful mess to clean up.”

Their website can be found at . And it walks you through the options available.
