More uses than I thought!
I bought this hose to adapt my Porter-Cable 894PK 2-1/4 HP GripVac Base, Plunge Base Kit to my shop vac. The hose itself is made of quality materials. It has a nice balance of flexibility and strength. I also like the generous length. To get the hose to connect to my shop vac hose (which is the larger 2" size, I don't know the exact measurement) I had to buy another adapter called a universal adapter Shop-Vac Universal Tool Adapter #906-87-00. You cut the universal adapter to fit your equipment. The large end fits a standard 2" shop vac hose, then other end steps down several times to fit different things.

In actual use, I made a pleasant discovery. In normal use of the #39332 hose on my Port-Cable router and my Port-Cable biscuit joiner, the small end goes on the power tool and the large end goes on the outside of my universal adapter to the vacuum. If I turn the hose around and put the small end INSIDE the universal adapter, the large end fits on the dust collection bag fitting on my DeWalt sliding miter saw.

Just right!
Trying to find just the right small hose hookup for your orbital sanders and plate jointers is not as easy as you think. This hose fits perfect to the tools on one end and to my Oneida "Dust Deputy" on the other.

Buying my second one.
I have owned this hose for about six years now. It does an excellent job of catching dust from the 1-inch fitting on many of my Porter Cable tools. I had used a Porter Cable sander with one at a friends, and was so impressed with how much better it caught the dust than my sander, I bought a new Porter Cable sander, that came with the hose, and sold my old sander on ebay.

I had a "Mr. Nozzle" hose on my shop vac when I bought my sander, and the Porter Cable hose hooked up to it with no problems. (The "Mr. Nozzle" hose is a lot better than the standard hose that comes with the shop vacuums, and is well worth the money it costs. It flexes better, and is a lot more durable.)

I have since been influenced in my tool purchases by whether they have good dust capture capabilities, and as a consequence have several more sanders that hook up to the 1-inch hose, two Porter Cable Saws, a biscut joiner, and several routers I use it with.

I am satisfied enough that I am ordering another today, because I forgot mine at my sister's house and can't stand the dust that gets in the air with out it.

A fresh breath for your power tools
This hose is reasonbly priced. It is sturdy and flexible. It fits all my porter cable power tool with dust port (routers,sanders).
Its length is conveniant and allow me to run the hose all the way to the ceiling and down to my workbench.

My only complaint is that the hose requires an adapter to be able to fit on a standard shop vac port.

The perfect hose for my Porter Cable router
My router has a hard to fit 1" dust port. This hose fit perfectly.
