This is supposed to fit shop vacuums with a 2-1/4" opening. But the coupling on it is only 2-1/8" OD and it slips through the 2-1/4" opening on my Sears Craftsman shop vacuum. The other end has no coupling or taper--just the cut off end of the hose. The cut end could thread into the same coupling that is on its other end, but neither end will go on to any of the friction fit tools that come with my vacuum, or the vacuum itself. So before you buy this, make sure you can actually use it.

This unique extension hose is the perfect accessory for my wet/dry vac. It comes with a cuff attachment which attaches to the Mr. Nozzle Wet/Dry Vac's Tool Kit for an even greater reach. Mr. Nozzle suggests that a 36ft. extension is the maximum reach for a standard wet/dry vac without deleting the suction power and I have found that the vac's ability is not hampered by the 36ft. reach. I really appreciate the ability to station my vac without having to manipulate it in all directions when in use.

This is a very good hose to hook up to a strong vacuum for floor and shop cleaning. It works well also for connecting power hand tools (orbital and belt sanders, etc.) Because the internal surface is not smooth, and because it is only 2 1/2" in diameter, I would not expect to link several 12-foot lengths together without substantially reducing air flow. The 12 feet works out well on a portable vacuum. If you use this with a stationary vacuum and need more than 12 feet of length, then you will probably need a 2-3 hp vacuum to do a decent job.

This hose wears well, resists abrasion, and doesn't kink. It appears at first glance to have an interntal wire for reinforcement, but the appearance is just a hollow ridge shape that coils the length of the hose and allows the hose to flex. The "coil" design and heavy plastic construction allow it to be sturdy yet remain flexible. This design means that the interior of the hose is not smooth -- the inverse shape of the ridge is mirrored on the interior. I thought this might make the hose clog easily but that is definitely not the case.

It is somewhat stiff -- stiffer than a good rubber garden hose but more than pliable enough for woodshop purposes. The cuff connector at one end of the hose allows the connector to rotate without twisting or winding the hose. This is a very good feature I would want on any hose.

The is no wire reinforcement because reinforcement is not needed with this hose. However, for those that believe an internal wire significantly reduces the builup of static, this hose doesn't fit that bill, it has no wire.

This is a high quality, flexible hose and a much improved alternative to the cheap plastic hose that came with my Craftsman. The only problem with it is that it uses 1 1/2" attachments which aren't readily available to the consumer.

But the real story here is Grizzly's attitude toward customer service. They had the incorrect picture on the site (since fixed) that misled me into believing that it was the hose that had attachments. The part number was correct, though, and when I received the hose I realized my mistake. When Amazon invited me to comment on the sale I mentioned the error, but still gave Grizzly 4 stars for smooth transaction and quick shipment. Within 2 hours I had email from Grizzly saying that they had realized their error and that they were shipping me the merchandise shown in the picture. I was stunned. This was far beyond anything that they could reasonably be expected to do.

I have always been a satisfied Grizzly customer, but now I guess I'm a Grizzly evangelist.

I looked on this product description and it stated that it would fit 2-1/4" OD ShopVacs. I must say that it was shipped and I received it within 2 days (very fast) but when I opened the box I found the hose itself had an OD of 1-3/4" and inside Diameter of 1-1/4". Very small. The grey adapter had an OD of 2" ID of 1-3/4". I'm not sure what this is supposed to fit. Please be careful. I am returning this now. I hope Amazon includes a bit more information in their product descriptions in the future.

I bought this to go with the Mr. Nozzle 115-DB kit and it works great. I mean, it's just a hose, but it's not flimsy and doesn't collapse like the cheapie that came with my Craftsman wall mounted vac. Now with the 15 footer that came in the Mr. Nozzle 115-DB kit, and this 12 footer, I can roam around 27 ft. of my garage sucking up anything in my path, and I don't notice a bit of drop in suction at 27 ft. vs. 15 ft. I love the convenience of my wall mounted vac and 27 ft. of hose. I'm giving my "lug-along" ShopVac to my brother-in-law.

Note: This is the same hose and coupling in Amazon's Mr. Nozzle 300N kit, but it comes from Grizzly, who shipped very quickly I'm pleased to say. I was reluctant to buy this one since the part number was inconsistent with other Mr. Nozzle products on Amazon, but apparently it's a Grizzly part number. The hose and coupling are the same as in Amazon's 300N kit.

The best flexible hose for connecting hand held power tools. Mr. Nozzle has the perfect balance between rigid/flexible and will not compress under vacuum pressure. The grey adaptor end fits 2+1/2" to 1+1/4" reducers for hand held tools and has a 2+1/4" O.D. Perfect!!!

I bought this to enable wet vac washes of tile in a 30x30 lab area with 4 doors to the outside, which tracked in alot of mud. The coupler is professional grade just like the hose, but you need to remember that to unscrew the coupler, you must turn it clockwise since vacuum hose is a left hand thread like propane tanks.

The assembly is airtight and works well with no water drips along the way. A 24 foot hose with a floor nosle provides the reach to get anywhere in the room without moving the waterlogged vac unit.

Even exposed to UV (outdoors) this hose has held up over the years while other factory hoses have disentegrated into hoseparts.

This is a great hose , I replaced the ridged hose that came with my shop vac , much easier to use , cost is high but you get what you pay for .

I recently received the kit with three different hose adapters, two tools (crevice and claw) and 12 feet of hose. There was indication in the write up that it would work on a craftsman vac. None of the adapters fit the vac. Only the crevice tool fit the Mr nozzle hose coupling. After much sanding and grinding on the claw tool I removed three plastic rings and got somewhat of a fit. I managed to cut the craftsman vac insert down and duct taped it to one of the adapters to get it to hook up to the vac. The hose is not all that flexible and holds a memory of the original packaging winding. This was an expensive mistake.
