I have an electric Porter Cable with the dust collection hose and collar, and have had a few over the years. They are real workhorses. I have had the six inch Rigid and it will clip right on to a shop vac and will fit right up to a big or small hose. If I was sanding a car with an electric, I'd use the Porter Cable. Fesstool makes the best Vac and sander, but a Porter cable hitched up to a Dustless brand vac or even a Shop Vac with the drywall bags is a remarkably close second.

The vacs with the internal bags are a real game changer, and you can pick up 40 pounds of drywall dust with a Shop Vac and still have good suction. The real reward is when you just pull the bag full of crap out and throw it into the trash without having to deal with loose dust or a clogged main filter. Imagine sucking up 40 pounds of drywall dust and then just lifting out the bag and throwing it away. Imagine that you didn't stop 10 times to clean the filter. Imagine that you sanded an entire car or woodworking project, and you didn't have to service the vac one time.
