Abstract: A vacuum filter bag includes an inlet flange and gasket and a plug. The inlet flange includes axial ribs and recesses which improve the seal between the inlet gasket and a vacuum inlet port and prevent accidental removal of the filter bag from the vacuum inlet port. The plug more securely closes the filter inlet opening after use of the filter bag. The filter bag reduces user exposure to dust and debris captured with a vacuum and is particularly suited for minimizing exposure to hazardous materials.

Abstract: A circular saw dust collection shroud is provided. The dust collection shroud includes a shroud body and a saw blade hood which is disposed around a circular saw blade. The saw blade hood may engage the upper blade guard of the circular saw. The dust collection shroud is reconfigurable to mount to either a left or a right handed circular saw and is adjustable relative to the saw to position the saw blade hood in a desired location around the saw blade.

Abstract: A vacuum filter bag includes an inlet flange and gasket, a clamp positioned adjacent the inlet flange, and a plug. The clamp is operable to engage the inlet port of a canister vacuum when the filter bag is mounted in the vacuum and keeps the filter bag securely attached to the vacuum inlet. The clamp is also operable to engage the plug and keep the plug in place to close the filter bag inlet after use of the bag. The filter bag reduces user exposure to dust and debris captured with a canister vacuum.

Abstract: A magnetic device for picking up ferrous metal debris, such as nails, screws, sheet metal fragments, staples, rivets, and other ferrous metal objects from an environmental surface such as the ground or a floor by rolling along the surface, consists of: a magnetic pickup member; a pair of wheels mounted to the magnetic pickup member and supporting the magnetic pickup member slightly above the environmental surface; a handle; a wiper for scraping ferrous metal debris from the magnetic pickup member and biased against the magnetic pickup member; and a release rope for rotating the magnetic pickup member against the wiper, thereby dislocating ferrous metal debris from the magnetic pickup member. Optionally, a hopper may be attached to the device for receiving the ferrous metal debris.
