My 3hp craftsman wet/dry vacuum has seen better days, never had attachments and my hose has cracks...

Im looking into getting another wet/dry vac but they dont seem to have the car attachments.
Then i look at actual car vacuums and they go for $30-45 but they dont list hp so im assuming they suck "in a bad way" ....
And i definetly dont want one that plugs nto the cigarette lighter due to being those being cheap...

Anybody use/know good vacuums with car attachments. Like the little brush and the skinny nozzle for in between the seats?

Here at the shop we use a Craftsman 5hp wall mount that included attachments. It came with the brush and narrow nozzle for tight areas. I believe Sears sells a newer version with a remote control.
