5.0 out of 5 stars Exc for the specific job it is designed to do, December 31, 2007

This review is from: Bosch VAC001 19mm-by-15-Foot Friction Fit Hose (Tools & Home Improvement)

It seems some of the reviewers are confused as to the purpose of this hose. It is not a general purpose shop vac hose. It is designed specifically to hook up to Bosch sanders without having to use the VAC002 adaptor to a 1 1/4" hose. I use it on the RS006 adaptor which replaces the canister on the 1295 and 1293. And it slides right on to the port on the 3x21 belt sander.

It has been made light so you can easily sand with it. To make it big, heavy and reinforced would defeat it's purpose. It makes sanding much easier. At 15 ft long you have enough hose and it has a 2 1/4 male end that attaches right to your shop vac. For use specifically with Bosch sanders (or maybe some other European stuff with the same size sander pickup) I recomend it highly.

1.0 out of 5 stars waste of money, May 2, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Bosch VAC001 19mm-by-15-Foot Friction Fit Hose (Tools & Home Improvement)

I would recommend that you stay away from this product. Don't even think about buying it. If you are sanding buy the 1" adapter for your sander and look elseware for a vacuum hose. Poor design, low quality plastic materials make this product a complete waste of money. RUN AWAY!

5.0 out of 5 stars Works For Me., November 12, 2004

I don't quite understand where the other reviewers are coming from.

I have the VAC001 hose and use it with my Bosch sanders and Bosch 11221DVS hammer. Both of my non-Bosch vacuum cleaners have standard 2-1/4" "female" ports that accept most vacuum hoses (including the VAC001) and use a friction fit to hold them.

The 001 hose is 15' long and light weight, and it's got an airflow contol at the vacuum cleaner end to prevent the vacuum cleaner from "overpowering" power tools.

The reviewer from 3 years ago must have received a defective unit. I've had mine for two years and have been quite happy with it.
