Appreciation post for my $80 shop vac that saved a chimney liner job

I was replacing a stainless liner in a house over in Lancaster last month and dropped a chunk of mortar down the flue. It landed right on a bend and would have blocked the whole thing if I didn't have my cheap Rigid shop vac handy. I spent like 80 bucks on it at Home Depot a few years back, and it's paid for itself ten times over pulling debris from tight spots. Has anyone else found a random tool that bailed them out on a tricky job?
