2.5 Inch x 20 Feet Dust Collection Hose - Heavy Duty, Puncture Resistant, Flexible, Clear PVC Pipe for Extracting Debris, & Fumes - Coated Wire Helix Reinforced - With 2 Stainless Steel Hose Clamps

I have a Rigid shop vac that I've had for years, and not too long in it got a kink near the the Vac side. I guess what bothers me is that it's a good shop vac, why do they give you a terrible hose? It still worked but you'd have to watch it. I could probably replace it with the same thing, though I did not easily find one online, but really didn't search that hard because I hate it. So after looking for generic replacements (either difficult to find quality ones, or maybe they were crazy expensive, I don't recall) I found this and decided to try it. Cut the hose and kept the two attachment ends, used the clamps to attach to the pieces. A bit risky, but I figured I could make it work one way or another, even if I had to use duct tape. But that did the job, works great, didn't take long to do, and it would be very hard to kink this thing. Just what I hoped. It does contract when you turn it on, but doesn't cause a problem at all - it actually seems better - doesn't stop you from stretching it out easily if you need to. So couldn't have gone too much better. The key/thing to tighten the clamps sticks out a tiny bit, but doesn't seem to get in the way at all - I didn't even notice when using it., and I could always get a different kind of clamp if I needed to.

Exactly as described. Like the way it can be expanded and compressed. Keeps excess hose under control. Highly recommend.

Good quality, flexible and strong

Pliable yet strong and sturdy- so far so good! Easy installation and easy trim to fit length

Great replacement for an old, cheap-o hose that split open between the helix.

AS ADVERTIZED, QUITE A TIGHT FIT OVER FITTING

This is 100 times more durtable than any cheap plastic tunnel made by Marshall's ferret company. My ferrets have clawed, chewed, and scrabbled through this tunnel for months, and it's held up amazingly! It's very hard for my ferrets to tear/ put teeth holes in this. i can see my ferrets running around inside the tunnel.

Works perfectly 👍
