    The REAL dirt on opticals

    Serious question:

    What vacuum cleaner do you use at your office that can handle screws, nosepads and all other kinds of optical dirt?

    Some of our offices hardwood floors (great for bouncing screws), but teh carpeted ones are taking a toll on our vacuum. We have bag and bagless.

    Any ideas?

    We have a big ol' honkin' Electrolux cannister. Seems to do pretty decently. Of course, we here don't drop any screws.:D:D:D
