Tools and Hardware Reviews of PSI Woodworking D50A 4-Inch by 50 Flexible Dust Collection Hose
Customer Review: Good for exhausting - not a useful intake for collection.
Summary: 2 Stars
Even after reading the reviews, I thought it would be worth a shot to buy 50' of hose for an incredible price. It arrived in a rather small box for a 50' hose, so I had my doubts as to the likeliness of it serving my shop. After taking it out of the box it reminded me of a Slinky with a thin plastic membrane. Remarkably the hose did extend to 50'!My application was primarily to connect my floor sweep and move it about the shop during cleanup. Unfortunately when the hose is connected to a dust collector (mine is a 2hp model) the hose will constrict (like an accordion) and collapses back to about four feet. Next, I tried to use it with some of my connections, but the same problem prevented the hose from being practical.
Lastly - I decided to use the hose as an exhaust for moving air through the finishing area. Works fine for this application. I would highly recommend using the Jet hose or solid tubing for a DC connection. This was not a wise investment however it was also not too costly.
Customer Review: You get what you pay for
Summary: 2 Stars
I have a 2HP system and this hose will collapse in many situations. It can be useful in short runs as a branch between the machine and the main vac line, but will collapse if it is part of the main line.
If you locate your blast gate BETWEEN this hose and the vac, you should be OK. The plastic is very thin, so don't use it in exposed locations where users may rub against it or cutoffs might fall on it.
Customer Review: Not up to Serious Stuff
Summary: 1 Stars
This hose is great if you're looking for a shop vac that'l take care of extraction off a small machine into a portable vacuum system, but it is no good if you're planning to connect up to a 2HP cyclone system for example.... The hose simply does not have the rigidity to prevent a sideways collapse under a powerful vacuum as claimed. It may hold up if you kept it fully stretched all the time, but that defeats the point. What you can't tell from the photograph is that this is the same sort of flexible hose one might use on a clothing drier exhaust, and the full 50' length comes packed in a 5' box.
I sent mine back.
Customer Review: Editorial Review misleading
Summary: 1 Stars
I can kick myself for not reading these reviews before I ordered it. This is the worst thing I have ever recieved (not worth the postage). Sure, the price is less. If I wasn't in such dire need I would return it immediately. As it is, I will just temporarily use it until my "real" dust collection hose arives (from Trend-Lines) and then just throw it out.By the way it may not colapse with suction but if you don't trim your fingernails before you take it out of the box you will most likely slice the thin membrane that holds it together. The picture and Ed Review are misleading.
Customer Review: Poor Dust Hose
Summary: 1 Stars
This item is the worst mail order item I have ever recieved. Both the picture and the Edititorial Review are very misleading. You need to be careful when you remove it from the box as even the slightest catch will tear the thin membrane.If not for the dire need I have I would return it. As it is I plan on throwing it out as soon as a real dust collection hose arives from Trend-Lines.
