Before you start tinkering in your workshop this spring, it’s important to make sure your space is clean and organized. A messy garage can not only hinder your creativity but pose safety risks. That’s why our editors recommend this DeWalt 20V Max Cordless Portable Vacuum for quickly cleaning up dust and debris.

The handheld vacuum is a robust option that is compatible with DeWalt’s range of 20-volt batteries. You can run it in handheld mode or detach the heavy-duty hose to precisely get into cracks and crevices. During our testing, we found the wet-dry vacuum versatile enough to suck up everything from a bowl of breakfast cereal (milk and all) to metal shavings on a garage workbench.

“The HEPA filter traps debris well, and the on-and-off switch looks like it belongs on a table saw,” according to our editors. “This is to say that though this is a small vacuum, it’s DeWalt through and through and built to stand up to the job.”

The vacuum features a ½ gallon tank that’s easy to empty. It also has a washable filter—simply remove it and run it under water. DeWalt claims the vacuum’s HEPA filter effectively captures 99.97 percent of dust at 0.3 microns, ensuring you’re not breathing in the debris left behind by your projects.

Unfortunately, your purchase doesn’t include a battery, so you’ll need to buy one separately. As we mentioned, the vacuum is compatible with DeWalt’s 20-volt system, so you’re good to go if you already own a DeWalt tool with a 20-volt battery. Otherwise, you can use the money you’re saving toward a battery and charger—this two-pack of 20-volt 6-amp-hour batteries is 33 percent off until May 1.

A handheld vacuum won’t replace a regular vacuum, but it’s an excellent companion for quickly tidying up. If you plan to spend a lot of time in your garage or workshop this spring, the DeWalt 20V Max Cordless Portable Vacuum is the perfect addition to help tidy up.
