Rockler Expandable dust collection hose
I just bought some of this hose.
Link is: http://www.rockler.com/rockler-4-dia...xpandable-hose I think its the best I have ever seen. It combines the characteristics of a good quality hose (sturdy wire wrap, thick plastic) and the desirable quality of being very extensible/collapsable. It is not like that cheap flimsy expandable hose with the thin wall - the stuff you see at some woodworker shows. It holds its round shape and does not kink when partially collapsed. The expand/collapse ratio is 7:1. That is a hose that expands to 14 feet will collapse to 2 feet. I recommend this product. Oh by the way, its Rockler blue so be sure it matches the decor of your shop. Bob |

Bob I like Rockler products but much of it is overpriced and some are not as durable or long lasting as they should be, IMO. |

To me, the fact that the coil wire came out is to be expected. Once that starts I would expect the partial vacuum to make it worse very quickly. -- Jerry O. |

However, I have had the hose for less than six months and it is breaking down. The wire structure the plastic is wrapped around is breaking through the plastic. See attached photo.

A single picture with no information or explanation doesn't say much. It looks like Rockler is having some quality issues, based on some of the reviews. My experience with Rockler backing their product is excellent. We'll see how this goes. There are lots of reviews from people who like the product a lot, but its too new to determine if its poor design or bad lot quality or something else. I am sorry I recommended it so quickly. Obviously, I like it a lot. In the past, I have avoided all forms of flex hose because of the flow resistance it causes. But some tools (especially table saws) have dramatically improved dust collection efficiency and its not so much an issue. Bob |
