Dust Right Flexiport Power Tool Hose Kit

I tried to find a way to adapt my 2.5" shop vacuum hose to my hand tools. It doesn't work. What is really needed was a separate smaller 1.25" hose for all my hand tools, and keep the 2.5" hose for the table saw and planer. Everything else I use this hose. I bought a couple of extra fittings, so all my tools are now covered. This hose is expandable, and under vaccuum it shrinks. Because of this, the hose tends to pull as you use it, but the fitting fit firmly, and it's not bad because it keeps the hose out of the way. The fittings are simply the best, and way better than any other 1.25" hose design. I like the expandable design, and the hose is small and neat when not in use. It's just a solid product, not expensive, and way better than any other hose out there.

This certainly simplified my dust collection with all of the attachments. Have been very pleased with the product. The downfall is the hose is heavy and when you turn on suction it shrinks so can b a little difficult to manage with handheld tools like a sander. It not bad enough for me to say it’s 4 star instead of 5, just a bit cumbersome at times. Would certainly buy this again!

Bought this because I'm doing a LOT of sanding of hardwood and wanted to improve dust control. So far I have only used it on a couple of de Walt random orbital sanders . It's a great improvement over trying to attach the standard shop vac hose with adapters, and more importantly keeping it attached. There's a router and a mitre saw in its future, so rating may change. There are minor niggles that make it a 4/4.5 rather than 5 star, and those have already been mentioned in lots of previous reviews. Assembly, such as it is: worth taking the time to get the end pieces properly mated with the hose. It's obvious how they attach, but a bit fiddly. Attaching it to a Shopvac: Not a problem with my Rigid, the OD of the included adapter is a snug fit for the ID of the shop vac intake. Haven't needed to reach for the duct tape. Attaching/detatching the adapters to the hose: as others have mentioned release is very stiff, you have to press quite hard to release the hose. Attaching to tools: fits two different models of sander without difficulty. The design of the dust ports on these doesn't really allow use of the circular clips included in the kit, but the connection is perfectly good. I'll eventually leave it permanently one of the sanders. The hose: gets pretty stiff when the shop vac is running. Think if you stretched it out to the nominal 12' it would be trying very hard to return to 3', probably with enough power to drag the shop vac with it, so I've been working with the shop vac close to me/the work piece. Not a showstopper so far, but could see this being irritating in some cases. Overall: a good upgrade for a DIYer, and worth the money.

This equipment allows me to sand without creating a layer of dust on everything in the basement. The hose connection fits both of my vacuums and the variety of available connections fit my different sanders and saws.

I like the hose, I like the material it's made of, I'm a little disappointed with the difficulty in clipping and releasing the attachments. it's actually really hard to disconnect from a tool also I'm disappointed with the lack of available fittings for additional tools. they send this with like a variety pack but to buy additional fittings is like buying Blind Bag baseball cards. but the hose itself is made of a material that I never used or seen before. I love the way it feels, I like the durability, and I like the way it shrinks back into a small hose when you're done. Im not sure if i recommend this product. just disappointed in a few things I think if they put a little bit more work into it this thing would be perfect.

I've been looking for this for years and suddenly there it was-ordered immediately before checking for other similar options and believe I made the right choice for both qualit, value, and price-excited to use

I don't love sanding but this works very well to keep sawdust off my workpiece and it off the air. I've only used it with my orbital sanders quickly swapping back and forth. The hose is a bit rigid, but not bad.

The fittings didn’t really fit my equipment
