5.0 out of 5 stars You won't get hosed on this one, March 19, 2001

I have used a couple of these devices to connect the dust port on tools to vacume hose. Funny how there are standard sizes of dust collection and vacume hoses, but every tool seems to have a dust collection port that is in some odd size. Nothing fits. This adaptor gets in between the odd sizes of tools and standard size of hose. You can easily trim this adaptor to fit either an inside diameter or outside diameter of the adaptor. Like I have said before, it does what it says it will do.

I've tried several step adaptors, but this Shop-Vac 9068700 universal tool adapter has worked most often. I'm now back to purchase two or three more.

This adaptor fits over (or replaces) a 2 1/2-inch exhaust port and can be cut, stretched, or clamped to fit nearly any vacuum cleaner hose between 5/8-inch to just over 2-inches. The rubber-like material can be stretched (occasionally with some effort) to fit tight connections. I've even fit this over exhaust ports the same size. Soap with a little water (and rubber gloves to improve grip) can help with really tight connections. Loose connections can be secured wih hose clamps. Hoses can fit either inside and over the various incremental sections. Unused sections can be cut away with a razor knife (box cutter, etc) or power tool (bandsaw, etc).

In one application, I replaced a bolt-on exhaust port with this adaptor (that's what the four screw holes are for) and then cut the oppposite end to fit my vacuum hose. With other applications, the large ends were simply slipped over existing exhaust ports, with the opposite ends again cut to fit my vacuum hose. Finally, several were used to add exhaust ports to home-built projects (downdraft table, etc).

This adapter may not impress others or attract girlfriends, but it often does wonders with vacuum cleaner hose connections.

5.0 out of 5 stars TOOL ADAPTOR, August 17, 2001

THIS IS THE BEST, AND PROBABLY THE ONLY TOOL ADAPTOR OUT THERE. I HAVE A SHOP VAC THAT HAS 2 DIFFERENT SIZED HOSES THAT DID NOT FIT THE EXHAUST ON MY SANDER, THE COMPANY DID NOT MAKE AN ADAPTOR TO REMEDY THIS PROBLEM, SO I FOUND THE ADAPTOR AT MY LOCAL HARDWARE STORE, CUT IT TO FIT THE SANDER, AND PLACED IT ON MY SHOP VAC HOSE. THE HOSE NOW STAYS ON THE SANDER FOR ALL DIFFERENT TYPES/HEIGHTS OF SANDING. THIS TOOL SOLVED A MAJOR PROBLEM OF KEEPING THE DUST IN MY WORK AREA DOWN. THIS ADAPTOR IS A MUST FOR EVERY OWNER OF A SANDER, ROUTER, PLANER, OR ANY OTHER PORTABLE POWER TOOL THAT GENERATES SOME TYPE OF DUST.
