Summary: It Fits Bosch Tools Only 2008-06-30
Comment: I bought it to use it with a Bosch 1294VSK Corner Detail Sander (that I already bought) and a Bosch 6" random orbital sander (that I will order). It works fine with the corner detail sander. I used it for an hour and the hose didn't come loose.
But I cannot give it a high mark for the following two reasons:
1. It doesn't work with other non-Bosch tools. For example, it doesn't work with my Dewalt 5" random orbital sander. I ended up using my hand to hold on with the connection. I probably can make them work together using a duct tape or something, or probably not.
2. 15-ft long sounds great. But when it is connected to the hose end of my shop vac, the air flow seems to be quite low. I think the combined length of the shop vac hose and this 15-ft hose may be just too long and creating too much friction for air flow. Moreover, the diameter of this hose is very short; this probably also reduces the air flow. Having said this, I can use it to sand and still keep the dusts in the air to the minimum when I was using it with my Dewalt sander (with my hand holding on with the connection). May be the suction is still good even though the air flow is low. I don't know because I am not an expert in this area. Still, I probably will like it better if it is only 5-ft long.

Summary: Exc for the specific job it is designed to do 2007-12-31
Comment: It seems some of the reviewers are confused as to the purpose of this hose. It is not a general purpose shop vac hose. It is designed specifically to hook up to Bosch sanders without having to use the VAC002 adaptor to a 1 1/4" hose. I use it on the RS006 adaptor which replaces the canister on the 1295 and 1293. And it slides right on to the port on the 3x21 belt sander.
It has been made light so you can easily sand with it. To make it big, heavy and reinforced would defeat it's purpose. It makes sanding much easier. At 15 ft long you have enough hose and it has a 2 1/4 male end that attaches right to your shop vac. For use specifically with Bosch sanders (or maybe some other European stuff with the same size sander pickup) I recomend it highly.

Summary: Clean, controlled sanding 2007-11-07
Comment: This hose is exactly what I was looking for. Some of the other reviewers perhaps were not using this hose for it primary intended use:
If you look nearer towards the top of this page, you'll see a section titled: "Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought." Looking here, you'll really see what this hose is for: sanding! So, just to be clear, this hose is really not meant for all-around general vacuuming jobs, and for this purpose, I think you'd be disappointed.
For me, it works wonderfully with my Bosch 1/4 sheet sander. Basically, the hose is very lightweight and flexible. I tried using a regular shop-vac hose along with some adapters, but there was probably one foot of fittings hanging off the end of my sander, and it could only be held with two hands. It was about as easy as sanding with something as big and heavy as a circular saw.
With this hose, I can pick the sander up with one hand, and maneuver it around effortlessly. Sanding is light and controlled, and most of all - clean. And for fine sanding, I would also recommend picking up a disposable drywall bag for your shop-vac too - it will totally eliminate dust clouds coming out of your shop-vac. Shop Vac Drywall Bag, 10, 12 and 14 Gal
FYI - this hose should fit most ShopVac brand vacs, but will NOT fit "Ridgid" brand vacs.

Summary: Too small for a shop vac - better for a tiny vac 2007-05-24
Comment: Keep in mind on this hose it is only 19mm - 25.4 mm would be 1 inch - 38mm would be roughly 1.5 inches, so this is HALF the diameter or 1/4 the cross sectional area of a typical shop vacuum hose which will drop airflow significantly - fine for drywall dust but if you get a piece of paper or a edge strip sucked into this hose you are likely to clog it. The fitting on the vac end is the standard 2" (50mm) fitting, so your hose is going from 19mm to 50mm with a high probability of clogging with any large object (nail, drywall screw, paper, etc) which would fly easily through 1.5" hose (38mm).
Perhaps packaged with a small nozzle for computer keyboards or a dusting brush for computer fans and laptop fans it would be useful - as it is it's trouble - look at the Mr. Nozzle hoses - much better professional grade hardware.

Summary: Works OK 2007-05-17
Comment: After reading the reviews on this product in conjunction with the RS006 I was concerned. The hose friction-fits both the RS006 and my craftsman shop vacuum 2 1/4" female port just fine. I just took another look at the web offering and the shop vacuum male end is listed at 2 1/2 in" diameter. This is most confusing. The cost of the hose was a little high, considering what it is made of. My only other thought is that there is direct relationship between length of hose and suction. My shop vacuum sings as if the hose was plugged, signifying limited air flow. Shorter may be better. To those needing a hose, it works just fine.
