Cen-Tec Systems94709 Quick Click 16 Ft. Hose for Home and Shop Vacuums with Expanded Multi-Brand Power Tool Adapter Set for Dust Collection

Since I have all DeWalt tools, I decided to pick up a Dewalt vacuum to use for dust extraction. I already anticipated a little bit of a problem after watching a bunch of YouTube videos but what I encountered was nothing short of ridiculous. I started ordering adapters, and the cost came to be around $100. That might have been fine, except that most of them didn’t even fit correctly and I spent more time that I want to admit on the phone with DeWalt customer service trying to figure out which adapters I needed. I watched a couple of reviews of the Cen-Tec product and decided to give it a shot. Now I feel stupid for not doing this in the first place. Not only did every adaptor fit perfectly, but the hose was much better for my purpose than the stiff short hose that came with my vacuum. If you’re trying to use your vacuum for dust collection, you would do well to try this product first before going down that adapter rabbit hole.

I was initially skeptical that this hose system would work for me with my older Craftsman vacuum, but I was able to get one of the adapters to fit my remote control power head, which let me use all of my craftsman attachments. This hose is really flexible and seems very strong.

Has all the adaptors you'd want. Fits all my shop tools, but, a little pricey for what you get.

As described, great great product! Highly recommended.

Works perfect, I ordered with the attachments because I was not sure what will work with my Hart shop vac.I had no problem connecting and did my cleaning in the ceiling. The quality is very good

I connected the 16' hose to a 2-1/2" port on my cyclone dust separator and then every power tool in my wood workshop. What I found using an anemometer to measure air flow vs a hose of the same size that came with my shop vac was a 10% increase in flow. Wow. The locking system to the included adaptors is great. It's really quick-connect/dis-connect and stays connected. The included hose ends adaptors cover every tool in my shop. The hose itself is very flexible and will not kink. This hose is well worth the investment. Great job Cen-Tec.

This is a great kit for the home owner /Diyer who dosen't have the room or need for a dedicated dust collection system. This is just what I was looking for to turn my shop vac into a dust collector. I have the Ridgid 11 gallon smart cart shop vac and this kit fits and works great with it. I just disconnect the factory ridgid shop vac hose and connect Cen-Tec hose. The fixed connector on one end of the hose fits into the shop vac port perfectly. The other end of the hose has a quick connect fitting that allows you to connect one of the different sized adapters. Now I can use my shop vac as a dust collector for my DeWalt 10" contractor table saw, my 12" miter saw and all my other hand tools that have a dust extraction port. The adaptors are made from a flexible rubber that stretch slightly to allow you to tightly fit them over the port on your tool. I like that the hose is a smaller diameter than my shop vac hose. The smaller diameter produces a very strong suction at the tool end. Plus the inside of the hose is smooth so your debris and dust will not get stuck in the hose like they do on a regular ribbed hose. I am glad I purchased this kit. It works great for my situation.

I have a Craftsman wet dry vac and bought this to attach to that and my assorted power tools, mostly Kobalt brand. I was expecting to be able to attach this hose to the Craftsman hose to extend the reach but the Cen-Tec didn't fit on the Craftsman hose so there's no extension option. However, it does connect to the vac directly on the 2 1/4 inch end by fitting snuggly inside port. But, here's the imperfection; the Craftsman has a clip to secure it to the vac and the Cen-Tec doesn't. The other end of the hose connects to the attachments with the blue clip-ins and then to the tool via a rubber opening. The result is that the connection wobbles and isn't secure. However, they included one hard plastic attachment that fits securely into the inside of the tool port.When it's all said and done, the goal is accomplished but the connection points feel like they will deteriorate over time. This seems to be a case of a product trying to be universal when it may be better off by focusing on only the most common products and clipping into place rather than rigging together friction dependent connections. Since this set costs more than some of the tools it attaches to, the question of price comes into play, and tempts me to buy a generic hose and find a couple of rubber sleeves that fit my tools at less than half the price.
