To add to that...I needed to pick up roofing nails in the grass so as not to get a flat in my Lambo...not.I had access to old 5" round magnets from Coal Mining Telephones (magnetize them to a metal whatever).Got a metal pipe 3' long mounted it to a 6' pull bar. Bolted each at just the right angle up against each other and after the first pull I had another great idea cut a piece of durable screen say 60 thou. pick off all the pieces of rust bicycle parts, nails and lay the screen down on it flat. Drag it a while, hold it over the trash can and pull the screen off and all the metel pieces falls off, job done!

Please add to "Quick Tips". When you make a mess in your shop and have to clean it up,you get out your ShopVac and go to work. But when your filter gets clogged so quickly, you have to stop and clean it or replace it. I found that when you take some of your wifes panty hose and wrap it around the filter, you can get a whole lot more usage time from it. Just shake it off and your original filter is hardly dirty. Thanks
