So far I’m happy with the Vacuflo one that came with the tool kit, but I also love the Compact and Electrolux ones as well as Wessel-Werk’s offerings. My favorite of all is the one with plastic squeegees instead of bristles, per hair and lint can’t get caught up on them!

My Riccar RPU-C10 and the current attachment deal...

Here’s my daily driver situation.

It’s a dry powder thing like Capture or the Oreck powder.

I’ve got a Dri-Star myself, looks more like the Lux version though.

Here’s what I use, a smaller Hitachi cordless drill. From playing with it the 6 setting on the torque clutch it about the same as hand tight. If it’s delicate I’ll lower it.

That’s really ‘flocking’ convenient! I’ve heard of this attachment before! Someone told me about the thing years ago, today so few vacuums have blower ports that you couldn’t really sell them now.

Yikes! Between the bidding and the insane prices, I don’t bother with anything on eBay unless it has the buy it now option! And that’s assuming the price isn’t ridiculous already...
