Cen-Tec’s 94434 is engineered to provide a complete electro-static dissipative dust collection hose solution connecting all major brands of power tools to vacuums designed to insure a grounded shock free working environment. The 94434 provided three different and unique quick-change power tool connectors. These connectors are designed to provide 360 degree swivel connections at the tool to reduce tension coming from the hose that might inhibit free movement of the power tool over the working surface. The two bayonet tool adaptors have a built-in air relief which permits adjustment of the vacuum to prevent sealing to the work surface and insure sufficient air flow to the vacuum to protect motor life. The 16 foot conical hose has a smooth interior to improve vacuum performance. Tapering from 1-1/4” at the tool end to maximize flexibility the hose uniformly tapers up as it extends to the vacuum to a 1-1/2” inner dimeter. The conical shape increase airflow and is complimented by Cen-Tec’s proprietary hose end designed to maximize the inner diameter into the vacuum preventing clogs. The 94434 adaptors are designed for compatibility with all major brands of power tools including Bosch, Festool, Milwaukee, Hitachi; Fein; Cobalt; Porter Cable; Black and Decker; Dewalt, Ryobi and many private label brands of tools and dust collection shrouds.

Great customer service and product by Cen-Tec
Hose was delivered by Amazon very quickly. The box had old shipping paper holders and torn off shipping stickers so right away I figured I had got someone else's return. Fittings for the hose were loose in the box along with the torn open plastic bag that they should have been in. Nothing had been used so I figured I got lucky. Then I noticed the hose end that connects to the shop vac was missing. I assume someone ordered it and kept that part and sent it back. I was going to start a return but decided to message Cen-Tec and give them a chance to correct the issue. Penny with Cen-Tec emailed me back the following morning and got the part right out to me. Great customer service and I will definitely be buying from them again. The hose itself works great. It is very flexible and the anti static feature is awesome. Also love the quick change adapters for different tools in the shop. Great product and customer service!

Good quality hose but frustrating unavailability of parts and accessories
I wanted to update my hose on my 6.5 HP Shop Vac (see photo). I purchased this understanding that it was for (tool) dust collection but I thought that I could also make it work to use my 1.25 inch Shop Vac accessories. The shop vac end fit perfectly (about 2.25-inch OD). The nut from the old hose is no longer needed and it also will not fit the new hose (nut I.D. is too small - see photo). I spent hours researching a way to add a 1.25-inch end on the quick connect end that's designed for dust collection. I gave up. That's okay. I knew this wasn't really designed for that but it would be a great accessory to just be able to quick-connect the 1.25 nozzle. And then I wouldn't need two (or three) expensive hoses. It just seems that an accessory like that should be available. But... Cen-Tec does offer at least 3 hoses that will work for my Shop Vac and have 1.25 ends (92707, 90342, and 94148) and all 3 were available on Amazon - they just aren't quick connect. So - all I need is the screw-on end from one of those hoses. Surely Cen-Tec must supply those as a spare part. Nope. It would easily thread onto the hose but I couldn't find it anywhere. Not on the Cen-Tec website either. So then I thought okay - I will just get another 2.25 (vacuum end, also referred to as the 2.5-inch end in other Cen-Tec hose descriptions) because my Ryobi Table Saw dust-collection port uses the exact same size as the vacuum end of the hoses. The vac end plugs right into my table saw port - just like it was made for it. The table saw port I.D. is about 2.3". Nope. That's not available either. I researched the Cen-Tec website but that website has less information than Amazon. So I was unable to purchase any accessory - screw-on or click connect in any brand - that would allow me to use this dust collection hose on the dust collection port of my table saw. I didn't really want two expensive hoses but I was willing to keep this one if I could just make it work on my table saw. One thing that is really frustrating is that very few adapters and accessories (Cen-Tec and others) give the outside diameter and/or the inside diameter(s). And it's not just me. I spent hours looking through reviews - trying to find information that I cannot find in item descriptions. And while I was doing that I saw lots of persons that ordered something that did not fit their application. Sometimes if dimensions are listed it doesn't say if it's I.D. or O.D. Or - when it does - it's not clear if they are referring to the accessory or the device that it attaches to. Amazon reviews were helpful for that but I still didn't find anything. Cen-Tec uses different terms for the same item in some cases. Sometimes they refer to the common-size vacuum end as 2.5-inch and in this ad they refer to it as 2.25-inch. The 2.5 description probably comes from the 2.5-inch hose-size if the reducer was not used. I even tried to find a 2.5 inch hose with a 2.5 (2.25) fitting on each end. I couldn't find that either - in any brand. I ordered the Cen-Tec 94148 hose for my shop vac but had to return this hose. I was willing to keep it but just couldn't find a way to make it work as a table saw dust collection hose. I'm sure there is a way to do it but I was not willing to invest any more hours in it. I've probably spent 6 to 8 hours on it already. It just seems silly that I cannot get the 2.25 end on each end of the hose - unless I purchase and additional Cen-Tec hose and remove that end and attach it to the other hose. That seems wasteful and I didn't want to spend $35 for just that end and have to discard the hose. I guess I'll have to drive around to hardware and plumbing stores and try to find a Fernco rubber plumbing adapter that works with some other accessory that I don't have yet - to make it fit my table saw. That was the recommendation of several reviewers. The dimension for the vac end of this hose 2.28" O.D (distal end of fitting). - measured with calipers. It's slightly tapered and an interference fit, and compresses a little bit when you insert it into the standard 2.5 (2.25 I.D.) vacuum port.

Great Antistatic hose, a refreshing change from cheaper factory hoses
Great Antistatic hose, a refreshing change from cheaper factory hoses that attract all kinds of dust or sawdust and then spread it all over. Functions as described and recommend a buy, also cheaper than a brand antistatic hose and works great on my FEIN vac.

Nice and long with antistatic
Before I Bought this hose I was continually getting shocked while sanding my woodworking projects. Additionally, I was dragging my shop vac around wherever I needed to sand. With this new longer hose I can put my vac in a central location and just move the hose to the spot that I need to sand. Also I have found that with the grounding built into this cable the static build up has gone away as it is pulled off to ground as the hose lays on the floor. I can’t believe it took me so long to realize they even made a grounded hose AND that it too so long for me to buy it. The hose couplings that came with the hose generally work well. It is still likely you will use any vendor specific fittings that you might have. But the ones that come with the hose aren’t bad. Overall, this set is Highly recommend.

Good quality shop vac hose
Seems all the shop vacs these days for sale at the retail level have gone super cheap on the hose they provide. They may be great vacuums but the hoses are very poor quality. My last shop vac I literally threw away the hose it came with and kept using the old hose, from my previous shop vac (which was actually my father's shop vac)... so this was a 40 year old hose, it finially gave up. I boutght the Cen-Tech hose as that old hose was failing and I was suctioning large amounts of dust from drywall sanding process. After one sanding session getting static shocks about once every 10 seconds or so I quit for the day and ordered this hose. Works great. The 16 foot length is nice and long without being too long, Hose is super flexible, but plenty strong. Nice set of adapters and the swivel connections are a good feature. The anti-static properties definitely help. I still get the occasional static shock with large jobs but its reduced by about 80 to 90%.

dust collection must
If you have a power tool that has the capability to capture the dust it makes, this hose comes with adaptors to your vacuum cleaner. I am still trying to attach my dust collector and try it there. Use this with belt sander (Bosch) and domino cutter (Fesstool). Works pretty good.

Good quality for a great price
I was worried about the quality of this hose but it looks very durable and the two different ends plus suction control make it a great deal. For Fein vacuums, which I have, the attachment point is a little tight. Fein is standard 2 1/4" ID; this hoses fitting is 2 9/32"-11/32" OD tapered. With a little floor wax it will fit in and stay in snugly. Eventually I'll make a proper adapter using PVC. Anti-static works great too.
