2.0 out of 5 stars Didn't fit for me. See review for ID and OD, September 4, 2010

PLEASE post actual dimensions for these vacuum adapters if you buy one!!!
Big end OD is 2.48" and ID is 2.28"
Small end OD is 1.20" and ID is 1.03"

It didn't fit into either side of the connection I was trying to make - attaching my Fein vacuum to a Bosch router table.

The adapter is made of hard plastic (like other vacuum accessories) - there is no stretch or give to it.

The idea is pretty simple - 2.5 inches down to 1.25 inches. You absolutely need this to useShop-Vac 801-89-33 Micro Cleaning Kit. This fits snugly on the end of the hose that came with my Shop-Vac and the micro cleaning kit parts fit snugly into the small end. No annoying falling apart. You can also use this to attach a 1.25 inch hose to the dust port on quite a few power tools.

I can't find a single thing to complain about. Hoses fit snugly enough that a couple turns on a hose clamp is all you need to form a good seat, but not so tightly that you can't get the hoses back off without feeling like you're going to rip them apart.
Very good adapter for those having tools with the 1-1/4" dust ports.
