self-cleaning filter bags

[Rob Z]

I know many here are already aware of how well the new bags work in the CT's.  But in case someone still wants some more information, here are two photos that follow up on our work from last week.

For the better part of one day, one of our CT26's was attached to a Makita concrete saw while we cut concrete in a basement.  At other times, the CT 26 was attached to a Hilti demolition hammer. It also got used as  a  shop vac.

Even after many hours of continuous cutting, you can see that the filter is still in good shape, thanks to the effectiveness of the self-cleaning bag.

After suffering through numerous blowouts with the old-style paper bags, we continue to be THRILLED with the new bags.

I've gone through 6 fleece bags in my 26 and not one bit of dust escaped while vacuuming. My midi on the the other hand has gone through 2 paper bags that came with the vac and both suffered blowouts and dust got everywhere. Fleece bags are on order and if anyone is still using the paper ones, just burn them and order the right stuff. What a phenomenal difference in quality.

I just bought some of these flesse bags for my home vac and was wondering just how biodegradeable they are.
At least the old Paper ones rot in time.
