Summary: 4 Stars
I had a choice in hose selection when planning out my DC system. I figured I needed about 50 feet in connection my 6 pieces of equipment. I could either purchase this hose or 5 ten foot lengths of the "other" black hose. I bought this 50 foot hose and one ten foot section for comparision. I'm glad I got this hose.Granted, the 50 foot hose is not as thick, but it is thick enough and sturdy enough for all my applications. It is much easier to work with, more flexible. For the price, this hose is the way to go. Even in cutting the hose, I had to poke a hole thru the hose with a pointed pair of scissors. The semi-blunted end of the wire cutters would not poke a hole in the hose!!
The ten foot hose has to be cut in the exact length needed, it will not collapse if cut too long. If cut too short...... The 50 foot hose will collapse, and if you have a machine on coasters, then when properly planned, will expand when the machine is used. The 50 foot hose arrives in a box that is only about 4 feet long, the ten foot hose arrived in a box much larger and is not compacted (it can't be).
This hose gives more options, the only negative thing in comparsion to the 10 foot hose is, it is not as rigid, or stiff. Which can be a positive thing.
Customer Review: "Flexible" slinky hose but good quality
Summary: 4 Stars
This was not what I expected when I purchased it. It is very flexible and I was thinking it would be more like a shop vac hose but it is more like dryer vent hose that came collapsed (like a slinky) in a 4 foot box.
Well, for what I paid, what did I expect. I was comparing this price to suppliers charging much more and was excited to find it at this price.
I am using it, though, and it is actually good quality, very sturdy, and well made for a hose of this type. It has a nice heavy wire that keeps the sides from collapsing. What happens, though, is that when the dust collector is turned on the hose shortens with the suction which pulls on the tool which you have it attached. On the table saw the hose shortens up and can obstruct my cutting path so I have to be sure that I have the it routed in a way to prevent this from happening.
I may change the hose out at some point but for now it is working. I just installed the dust collector and I am sure I will be making several changes on my installation over time.
But the delivery was quick, the quality is good, and the price was right so I am still giving it 4 stars.
Customer Review: This stuff is great
Summary: 4 Stars
I originally bought this fifty foot hose for connection to my dust collector and just dragged it around to the different machines. Worked very well at this task plus collapses on itself for storage (just cover the end and walk it back to the collector). I later got more sophisticated, cut it up and ran it along the ceiling with fittings and gates to the machines. Again it works very well and the flexibility makes it much easier to get everything connected. Since that time, I've now bought a second hose to drag around the shop as a vacuum. Some have complained about the flexibility / design of the hose, but I have had no problems and consider the flexibility a signficant benefit of this product. Highly recommended and much cheaper than the more rigid hose. I have not damaged the hose yet, but if you were to step on it you probably would. It does stink out of the box, leave it outside for a few days.
