Because the pump has to fit on a bench that is already overcrowded. If I was
going to use a shopvac, btw, it would be with a pvc waterpipe fitting glued to a
barbed fitting with plastic tubing. I thought of that and then the hassle for
each part of reaching down to turn the vacuum on for each part you want to seal.

shared these priceless pearls of wisdom:

-If it is just the suck that has to be tiny and not the pump, how about
-a toilet paper roll and some duct tape to make an adapter to your shop
-vac?
