Abstract: A flexible vacuum hose is coupled to a vacuum tool. The vacuum tool defines an elongated closed housing formed of mirror-image half portions. An elongated aperture passes through the tool housing to form a carrying handle in the upper portion of the housing. The housing further includes a closed end opposite the flexible hose coupler. A generally planar bottom plate is secured to the bottom edge of the housing to form an interior cavity within the housing. The bottom plate defines a plurality of small diameter apertures arranged in a generally uniform pattern upon the bottom plate. Air is drawn out from the interior cavity by the vacuum source producing a diffuse generally uniform vacuum air flow upwardly through the apertures in the bottom plate.
