Rupes S145EPL Highlights

The Rupes S145EPL uses a pneumatic trigger that starts up the suction when you actuate your air tool. It operates similarly to dust extractors that work in conjunction with power tools, but instead, connects to your pneumatic sanders.

The S145EPL generates around 117 CFM of suction, and it can handle both wet and dry jobs. It features a 12-gallon container, and the bag can hold up to 11 lbs of dry material. Dual-hose ports allow for multiple sanders to be used at the same time as well.

Right now, the Rupes S145EPL Electropneumatic Vacuum retails for $699, though Rupes also offers a kit for $999. It comes with the S145EPL a hose, and a sander.
