Yep last week with the free shipping was a better deal at $42. Been tracking this one for a while and finally bought it.
Still waiting for my item to ship, ordered a week ago.
Not with the vacuum "as is" just because of how the connection inside is made, there is nothing for the bag to attach to. There is a 3D printed solution: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4641942, if you have access to getting something 3D printed. I have not used this and can't say whether or not it works though.

Depending on how much dust you are going to be working with a dust extractor or 5 gallon wet/dry vac with a standard 5 gallon bag + cyclone collection like the Dust Deputy might be a better way to go. These options will be quite a bit more expensive though.

You didn't get the inverter with it?

That's what finally got me to buy it. What was the reason they gave you?

Exactly. I saw that offer and jumped only to find out after I ordered that it's not included. I didn't want to press and have them cancel my order as I had other things with it. Did you order and get it included?

Yep, DTO is now playing fast and loose with "regular price". Here are another two that they jacked up the original price on, saved from screenshots from my cart last week and again today.

Nothing but a used car or furniture store now. Fake sales. Slow shipping.

For those on mobile, here is what is in the picture:
PBF102B 3" Variable Speed Polisher/Sander (Factory Blemished)
JAN 30: $79.99 - 40% = $48.00
FEB 3: $109.99 - 64% = $39.99

PSD101B 1/2"x18" Belt Sander (Factory Blemished)
JAN30: $69.99 - 40% = $42.00
FEB 3: $169.99 - 76% = $39.99
I find that DTO's "fast and loose" regular pricing is Home Depot's fault, or at least that's how I see it. DTO's regular price always seems to track with Home Depot. I don't where the cut-off is, but DTO's regular price for factory blemished is always $10 less than new at Home Depot for less expensive things (under $100?) and $20 less for more expensive things (over $100?). So when Home Depot's pricing changes, so does DTO's.

Any way to use a vacuum bag with these for drywall dust etc? I see in reviews people say no but.... Anybody successful?

Some folks have used a pool strainer sock on their filters. Not sure if this helps with drywall dust or not.

Can the hose be lengthened?
I had one delivered yesterday and find the hose a little stubbier than I expected
I read it would go to 6 feet but that seems literally a "stretch."

Kinda felt they had some shady things like the 2 tool item that was supposed include the inverter (showed a pic of the inverter in the corner of the thumbnail and Free) but I contacted and they wouldn't budge.

I think they were offering it for free a couple weeks ago. Guess they were slow in changing the pic

The sales are real and will always be lower than HD regular price. Regular price is a different story and has been commented on many times. Don't be as concerned with that as with the price you're willing to pay. I Look through the thread to see what the sale price has been in the past. 50% off may make some people jump on an item, thinking it's a great deal.. but doing a little research will let you know that the 40% off sale they had a couple months ago was a much lower overall price. I bought the crown stapler two months ago for 29.99 'regular price' 49.99. Now it's 39.99 with 79.99 regular price.

Same here dude. I thought I was the only one. I order a ton of stuff and order many times in the past and it was a 3 day turnaround. I order a pole saw and need to trim a tree so not hating it didn't show for the weekend.

Same boat. Glad I'm not the only one.
Same here. Ordered on 1/29. I guess as long as they fulfill the orders but there isnt a chance they start canceling stuff, right? Never ordered from DTO.

I got mine the last time it was posted.
My boat sits at the dock a 5 min. walk from my house all summer and sometimes gets leaves and pine needles, etc. in it. I have a dustbuster-type hand vac.but the battery runs out before I'm done vacuuming the boat carpet. And I have to empty it often when using it. This vacuum should be perfect for the task and I have several batteries.

I can 3d print said item.
