Randy, would they fit but just not fill the entire space?

Anybody have experience with the Flex HEPA vacs? They are on sale for the holidays and are much cheaper than FT.
Not directly but, it's a nilfisk made tool so it'll be just fine. The guys I know that picked them up for $180 are absolutely chuffed with them on first examination. For that price, how can you go wrong ?
Even for half the price of a Festool CT , they are still a good value.
Can't you buy bags for the PC Vac? I think I had a PC Vac in the past and used bags. The filter stays in place and bag spreads out around the filter. I think I even bought some HEPA bags for it. In the old old days I just used the filter and that was a hassle to clean. Eventually I discovered I could use bags. What a difference.
Yes you can;

So, it's embarrassing to admit, but I've been using the PC shopvac for years without bags because I actually didn't know they were available, and put up with periodically cleaning out the filter..but having read the earlier posts about the Festool bags I wondered if there were some for the PC, and have ordered them...I'll see how the PC performs with the bags in place...I suspect its still far fewer CFMs than the Festool, but may be adequate. Thanks for all the comments!!

I've done that several times. - After vacuming up something I needed by mistake. (Admit it, you've done it too!)
But man, is that messy. Normally I'd rather just change the bag.
I'm SO glad I saw this thread. I just ordered a bunch of those Powertec bags off Ebay. What a great price.
