It would work, and it does work better for specific applications like metal chips around the drill press and grinders. But doing the entire floor with it would take all day. The nozzle is only 9" wide.
Oh, then the blower is still better but for different reasons. Shop vac is just as loud as an electric blower, and will take significantly more time and energy.
Shop vac wouldn’t work?

That’d take 10x the effort and time.
Do you mean use the vac as a blower? Less effective compared to a proper blower, and just as loud (maybe louder?) as an electric blower.
I had meant just to vacuum up all the dust.
