Pro tip: tried a Milwaukee M18 blower versus the old shop vac for cleaning up after a sweep

I used to spend 20 minutes after every job cleaning soot off the hearth and floor with a shop vac. Last month I borrowed a Milwaukee M18 blower from a buddy for a job in the East End. A few quick puffs outside the door blew all the fine dust away in under a minute, no filter mess. Has anyone else found a faster cleanup method for the final dust?

You're just blowing dust into the neighbor's yard.

Man, @rivera.keith, that's the worst feeling (sorry, neighbor).

Oh man, did that happen to you too? Last summer I was blowing leaves and my stupid blower just launched a pile of wet muck right into my neighbor's open garage. I froze, looked at him standing there holding his fishing rod, and I just mouthed "sorry" like an idiot. He just shook his head and walked inside. Still haven't lived that one down.
