I got the latest flyer from True Value today. On the front page is a listing for a "Special Purchase" 12 Gal, 5HP Shop-Vac for $29.97. A 12 Gal Rigid or 12 gal Shop-Vac at Lowe's goes for $70. Since my old Craftsman just died, and the ad states "While supplies last", I will be heading to the local dealer first thing in the morning.
This is a bare bones unit. Accessories listed are a 6'...
Read th Rigid box carefully. The HD's had that as a special for awhile. The hose was some oddball size, like 1-7/8" and it came with almost no accessories.

Given that this is at True-Value and not HD, I think the post is referring to a Shop-Vac brand and not a Ridgid.
I wonder if it's this one:

Probably NOT this one!: http://www.amazon.com/Shop-Vac-925-4.../dp/B00004R HKH
Still, it's on the way to cleaning out our 89 year-old aunt's house(True Value, that is) and I have the $5 coupon...might make a Halloween run and pick up one tomorrow. Thanks, OP
BTW, my coupon is from the Nov. issue of ...
Rick, it's the one in the first link. The local True Value dealer only had 4 when they opened yesterday morning. I got the last one about an hour after they opened. By the time I paid I heard 3 others ask for one.
It is the Quiet Plus series, definitly not a 'screamer', and comes with a utility nozzle rather than the rectangular wet pick up nozzle that most of the vacs have with them....

I just called, and my 2 closest True Values are independently owned (I assume) and don't do the normal specials that the rest do, so they don't have these. Oh, well, didn't really need another shop vac anyway. Thanks anyway, OP!
I just picked up one of those today and it comes with a foam sleeve and a paper filter. Not bad otherwise, real quiet. Anyway, looking online for a pleated filter and I ran across a HUGE disparity in prices for this vacuum. http://http://www.shopzilla.com/shop...655800/compare Jack
