This aluminum blastgate is a real workhorse, very well constructed and much more dependable than it's plastic cousin. The aluminum is put together with screws, the plastic blastgate is tack welded. When/if the tack weld loosens, you've lost your blastgate. Get the aluminum blastgate.

The aluminum will also hookup to the grounding system, making a much easier connection than the plastic gates. The only downside is that it is a little pricey, but a DC system is something that should be build to stay and to use, this aluminum blastgate will foot the bill.

These work much better than the plastic gates. They are put together with screws so that if needed they can be taken apart. They also conduct the static charge through the metal wire when used with the wire-reinforced hose. These are 5 stars for the quality, 3 stars for this price.

I went straight to the aluminum after reading the reviews about the differences between aluminum and plastic. There is no reason to skimp on dust collection and these really make life easy. One per tool or hose connection and you are all set. No worrys about quality here. These are tough gates, made for years of use and abuse.
