In comparision to the counterpart black hose, the only advantage I can think of is that you can see thru this hose to easily identify where any possible clogs are located. With the black hose you have to use trial and error, and possible take the entire DC system apart to find the clog. With the clear hose, you can see it and go right to the problem spot. Is this worth almost double the price of a black hose?

That can only be answered by the user. I'm using the clear hose only off of machinery where large chips are make, my lathe and bore machine (drill press). Other than that, I opted for the cheaper black hose. I also have those two machines located the closest to the dust collection machine, so the hose length, and chip travel, is the least possible.

The quality is great - 5 star. This price is ridicules - 0 star. Check another source. Read Controlling Dust in the Workshop by Rick Peters. I have used about 60' of this my workshop to connect each of my power tools to my metal duct system.

This is the best hose that i have found to date.It does cost more money but it performs well.I have two sets.I also have the 6" hose.It is best to use the wire style clamps to retain the hose to the machine or dust pipe.I have seen these hose used on big molders with six heads.Hope this helps your choice of hose.
Thanks, Weyer Service

Yes, it is expensive for hose. This does work really well though and it probably some of the best hose on the market...... Very flexible (some types are stiff) and the ability to see into the hose is (nearly) priceless! Had something get stuck in mine last night. Would have never known until it became a bigger problem if I could not see that little piece of wood!

this hose turned out to be alot more flexible than i expected....perfect for a mobile dust collection set up. the clear plastic wall is thin (allowing flexibility) but seems strong enough for woodshop use. it will not support my weight (160lbs) if i stood on it but otherwise the wire is rigid.

i would not recommend this hose for runs longer than 10ft because the inner surface is not very smooth at all as a result of the flexing plastic walls.

i also bought a piece of "valley gasket & rubber" 5" clear hose from amazon which turned out to be almost the same as the jet but with a heavier guage plastic wall.

Why pay more for the jet name...this hose is great but I get this exact item in 50' lengths for less than $60.00 from other sources. Save your money and do a search.

I bought these hoses to finish up my dust collection system in my workshop. They work very well and I believe they will stand the test of time. Made of a strong clear see through material, wich makes it easy to see the shavings moving through the collection system iI have set up.

I have a Troy Bilt yard vac (don't buy Troy Bilt...they are owned by another company that stinks). It has a short, black hose for tough to reach spots but the hose was always way too short. I put on my thinking cap and bought this clear hose as an alternative and it works great. I have much more reach and can see clogs.

I've tried about 6 different kinds of dust collection hose and this is the finest quality. It's transparent and pliable yet rigid enough to hold its shape with 1600 CFM. It also is a rubbery texture so it will hold fast to finicky/poorly designed blast gates like Eco-Gate.

Good quality aside - this hose is way overpriced.

Rockler has similar quality hose for much, much less money.
