Had a big 1.8m copper cylinder to take out today, draining the last bits from cold water inlet I put the wetvac on the inlet tilted the cylinder to help matters whilst I did so I placed my hand over the outlet at the top.

Immediately I heard crunching noise, it was only after I took the cylinder out I noticed where the bottom immersion was the cylinder became completely warped like it has been sucked inside itself.

Never knew hoovers could suck with such force :)
 
Either that or it was a very old and weak cylinder.
 
vacuum is a very powerful force we prototyped some concrete slab lifting tools about 30 years ago and it surprised everyone
