Vacuum Hose Holder
Tape a vacuum nozzle to the top of your shoe to minimize dust on the job without bending over.
I had to drill a bunch of holes in the concrete floor of a basement. My rotary hammer and drill bit combined were fairly long, so I could stand comfortably, but bending over to reposition the vacuum nozzle was bothering my back, so I taped the vacuum nozzle to the top of my shoe. I was able to catch the dust from drilling and move to the next hole without bending over.
