Gil,
I've had the larger plastic cabnet from HF, the one that cost $119/$129
on sale, for about 3-4 years. I love it. It is small enough to be moved
around fairly easily. I usually take it outside and set it up on my portable
workbench (a Black & Decker workmate with the plywood table top).
The only 2 problems I have with the cabnet are that the suction hose keeps
floating out of the sand, and the vaccumn hose keeps falling off. I've
fixed that by taking some AL. flashing and cutting a couple of strips and
bending it around these tubes. Then pop rivited the straps in place.
