Best money you can spend in your shop. If you think about the cost of bags this thing will pay for itself in no time flat - even if you are cheap like me and reuse the bag as much as you can. Planing down some rough cut Poplar the other day - it was about 10 boards, 10' long and I took out 4 cans of trimmings out to the woods. So easy to take out. Most people have an old metal trash can you can sit this lid on. I have two for those rainy days.
