When using a sander, it would be nice to be able to easily and temporarily
clip the power cord to the vacuum hose. Does anything like that exist?

Velcro ties. They are strips maybe 6" long with the "hooks" on one side
and the "loops" on the other. Convenient for many things.

Good suggestions, and they led me to think about those white plastic
cable twists. I guess a brand name is Kurly Lock, but I'm not sure what
the generic name is. Zip tie one of those to the hose, then drop the
cord in there and give it half a turn.

I'll have to see if I can find a reasonable quantity somewhere for a
reasonable price. (Some company is selling 1000 packs on Amazon, I only
need 2 or 3.)

If a twist tie is too difficult, yer****outtaluck,yalazyarse.

Also taking roughly 1 second to install (and of equal difficulty to
twist ties) is double-sided velcro. http://goo.gl/ahjA3

Or talk to a vacuum repairman. Some cannister vacuums have those clips
specially made to hold the cord to the tube on their upright sweeper
wands. Expect to pay five bucks apiece for 'em, though, if your hose
size is the same.

(I can just see Pucky comparing his hose to the vacuum repairman's.)

I have found - at Frye's Electronics and elsewhere - rolls of 1/2" and
3/4" Velco-like material. Cut off what you want and wrap the two
together. When done, pull it off and no sticky residue, etc.

The actual Velco material in the same form has the true hook on one side
and fuzzies on the other and holds tight like you wouldn't believe.
Wound up buying it to keep lengths of heavy duty (10/4 power cord)neat
and tidy. Works like a charm

That was a quick illustration. Similar products are available in longer
lengths. In music stores, even. We mu-gicians can't have our cables all
tangled.

Oh, and it's not much trouble to extend them by using more than one. The
ones I have came on a roll.

My thoughts exactly. 'Tis a great price for that much velcro.

HD has a variety of plastic (orange, of course) cord gatherers. They
are like a single handcuff and come in a variety of size. The small
ones are about a buck each.

When you're good, there are no wrong notes. It's *art*, man.

I've used #14 or #12 insulated wire from Romex cut-offs, for years.
Pull out the separate black and white (or red) wire and cut to length.

I do one of two things.
1. Twist a long corkscrew around the cable to attach it, leaving enough
pigtail to wrap around the coiled up cable.
2. Cut a piece long enough to warp around the coiled cable about 1-1/2
times. It's strong enough to hold on its own without twisting together
like twist-ties, and just weak enough to be undone easily with your
fingers.

That sounds like a good idea. The heavier wire won't mash and stick like
the twist ties do, and a twist or two is the kind of ease of use I'm
looking for.
