I had an experience with duct hose. I built a leaf vac and tried a
variety of scrounged hoses on it. The very poorest performer was duct
hose. It lasted about 20 minutes before the leaves, twigs, & bits of this
and that wore through the wall.

I was cheap, but eventually I did buy the real stuff ($7 a foot, IIRC) and
it was worth it - after 10 or 15 years it is still in use, but has a few
tears.

The "cheap stuff" on the McMaster site is about $7 / foot if you buy 25' or
more at a time. LOL.

They actually have some rated for metal chips that sells for $9/foot in
small qty. I may try a 25' spool of that.
