I have a 600 CFM vacuum (JET), a garbage can separator, and then 50' of this. I move it from router to planer to jointer. It works very well. My only caution is : Open it in a well ventelated area - the plastic odor from mine was VERY strong for about 48 hours. (Now there is no odor.)

Update: 11 months later: After frequent "hobby" level use all year, I'm still very pleased with this product. It shows no sign of collapse or holes from being dragged around my garage shop.

Update: March 2007 - 3 years later: Still going strong!

Update: July 2008 - 4 years and counting - still working great after being dragged around for countless hours.

4.0 out of 5 stars Worth the Price, November 13, 2001

I had a choice in hose selection when planning out my DC system. I figured I needed about 50 feet in connection my 6 pieces of equipment. I could either purchase this hose or 5 ten foot lengths of the "other" black hose. I bought this 50 foot hose and one ten foot section for comparision. I'm glad I got this hose.

Granted, the 50 foot hose is not as thick, but it is thick enough and sturdy enough for all my applications. It is much easier to work with, more flexible. For the price, this hose is the way to go. Even in cutting the hose, I had to poke a hole thru the hose with a pointed pair of scissors. The semi-blunted end of the wire cutters would not poke a hole in the hose!!

The ten foot hose has to be cut in the exact length needed, it will not collapse if cut too long. If cut too short...... The 50 foot hose will collapse, and if you have a machine on coasters, then when properly planned, will expand when the machine is used. The 50 foot hose arrives in a box that is only about 4 feet long, the ten foot hose arrived in a box much larger and is not compacted (it can't be).

This hose gives more options, the only negative thing in comparsion to the 10 foot hose is, it is not as rigid, or stiff. Which can be a positive thing.

Even after reading the reviews, I thought it would be worth a shot to buy 50' of hose for an incredible price. It arrived in a rather small box for a 50' hose, so I had my doubts as to the likeliness of it serving my shop. After taking it out of the box it reminded me of a Slinky with a thin plastic membrane. Remarkably the hose did extend to 50'!

My application was primarily to connect my floor sweep and move it about the shop during cleanup. Unfortunately when the hose is connected to a dust collector (mine is a 2hp model) the hose will constrict (like an accordion) and collapses back to about four feet. Next, I tried to use it with some of my connections, but the same problem prevented the hose from being practical.

Lastly - I decided to use the hose as an exhaust for moving air through the finishing area. Works fine for this application. I would highly recommend using the Jet hose or solid tubing for a DC connection. This was not a wise investment however it was also not too costly.
