Hint 1: Clue Explanation
▼The original Dustbuster, made by Black & Decker, came out in 1979, and I just found out that you can still buy a version of it today. Some people expected jet packs by now; I imagined the end of the HAND VAC and other mundane cleaning gadgets (although, truth be told, I love my small fleet of Roombas that dodder around after the dogs all day). Did you know that the first Dustbuster was based on a lunar drill that Black & Decker built for the Apollo space program? It might be a stretch to connect this to its neighbor, the “poker straight” at 12D, but they do have “hand” in common; to maximize its value, a straight should be ACE HIGH.
