Is this container able to withstand the vacuum from a shop vacuum and not collapse if the vacuum line should become clogged?

Yes, I've used it for exactly this purpose. It's very sturdy and rigid. The metal band and gasket make a perfect seal. I've been using it about four or five months and it still works well.

No! Mine was vacuum packed, so I opened it carefully and poured it into another (larger) container, crumbling it up as I "poured" it. It's been fine!

No. It's a vacuum pump.. there's a distinct lack of pressure in the vessel when you use it.. :) and the way it's build I don't think you can extract enough air to make it collapse on itself.

Yes. The bucket and hose set-up is just a water trap for the drywall dust. It keeps the dust from ruining your shopvac or other vacuum source. The dust gets pulld into the water and settles there leaving relatively little dust in the airstream entering the vac.Do be careful, howver, not to kick over the bucket while sanding as it could sent a shot of water up into your vac. Not too big an issue if using a wet/dry vac but more cataqstrophic if not using a water-proof vac.

I haven't used mine for such heavy duty work but the filter won't leak. It might plug up fairly quickly requiring you to empty the bin and clean the filter by tapping it on the inside of a garbage bin. A better choice for heavy duty work are the larger sears shop vac.

There is a soft rubber seal around the lid which if tightened ought to prevent moisture getting in/out. I have not tested this however, it is just m impression from inspecting the container.

The mini vacuum is extremely small, but not sure if it will fit a shop vacuum. I have not currently attempted to attach to a shop vac.

I don't. I have a container that is pretty airtight. I have never had any problems.

Yes, it's a tight sqeeze to connect, the hose is cheap thou, if it stays twisted or if something is on it during storage, and flattens the hose a little it wont bounce back, which it can interfere with suction power, but is the only replacement I was able to find, with a little vac that works, like forever. My other hose had duck tape all over it, trying to keep it together, it worked for a while, until it was a flat hose :( and it was done. Good luck.

Not if you use the pleated filter. Yes if you don't put that critical part in. Has the best vacuum and forward pressure of any machine I ever used.

strong enough you can't pull the lid off without releasing pressure. it's a mechanical system so it's just a matter of how much you work the vacuum pump.

No problem as long as the complete mouth fits into the slot that enables the vacuum to be pulled. It seals fast and secure.

Didn't try that and probably wouldn't. The fine abrasive dust might damage the vac, Shop vacs are cheap enough,

You can put a strip of paper towel between the food and the seal point, this will stop any moisture from going into the vacuum.

It would fit a shop vac or any other similar style of vacuum, as long as it had a 1 & 1/14 inch hose. The larger 2+ inch hoses it would not

Yes, You just have to keep the liquid away from the vacuum tube. A good idea it to freeze the product then vacuum sealing it.

It should? I have no trouble from mine. I did find that you really need to put a cap on the lid to insure the vacuum stays good. Lee
