DEWALT DCV517B 20V MAX* 1/2 Gallon Wet/Dry Portable Vacuum (Tool Only)

Professional-Grade Power in a Handheld Frame: The Ultimate Cordless Jobsite Cleanup Solution.

Take the power of a shop vac and put it in the palm of your hand. The DEWALT DCV517B 20V MAX 1/2 Gallon Wet/Dry Vacuum* is engineered for contractors, auto detailers, and DIYers who need high-suction performance in tight spaces. Whether you're cleaning up sawdust in a cabinet, water spills on a workbench, or dirt in a vehicle, this portable vacuum delivers the reliability of the DEWALT 20V MAX* platform without the hassle of a cord.

Note: This is a Bare Tool (Battery and Charger sold separately).

Why the DEWALT DCV517B Outperforms the Competition:

• HEPA Wet/Dry Filtration: The integrated Gore™ HEPA filter traps 99.97% of dust at 0.3 microns. Best of all? It’s a wet/dry filter, meaning you don’t have to swap filters when switching between liquid spills and dry debris.
• Dual Cleaning Modes: Switch instantly between the front utility nozzle for wide-area pickups and the 5-foot extendable rubber hose for reaching deep under car seats or behind equipment.
• Large Capacity, Small Footprint: The 1/2-gallon tank provides ample room for jobsite messes while remaining compact enough to store in a truck cab or tool chest.
• Washable & Reusable Filter: Save money over time with a filter that can be easily cleaned with tap water, maintaining peak suction power for every job.
• One-Handed Operation: The heavy-duty latch allows for quick tank emptying with one hand, getting you back to work faster.
