Cen-Tec Systems Premium Shop Vacuum Extension Hose, 50 Feet

This is a good quality item. A definite upgrade from the supplied Shop Vac hose. It is much less likely to get twisted or kinked, which was a real problem with the original hose. The added length is great for being able to reach everywhere in my garage. Suction is as good if not better than before. It's not great to have to pay an additional $50 for a hose upgrade, but in this case it was a worthwhile purchase.

Wow.Ordered (different brand) one previously.A perfect fit and seems to be built to last.Happy with this choice.

I have been on a mission to make the garage / shop space more usable. One of my pain points was dragging around the shop-vac when vacuuming either in the garage or the car, since the original hose was only around 6 feet long.Centec offers a few different sizes, but I opted for the 30'. This way, I can leave it where it sits in the garage and get to anywhere in the garage without having to move it.If I am going to work on the car, I can easily leave it near the garage door, plugged into power, and then just walk the hose around to get to everything. I was thinking originally of getting the 50', but thought it may experience too much suction drop.I haven't measured the suction loss between the original 2.5" hose vs this 30' 1.25", but it still seems to work and vacuum fine, so I'm not worried about it.The hose itself seems pretty flexible, but durable. Right now, I just store it by draping it over something in the garage, but may plan in the future to get a 'hose reel' to manage it better.If you're looking for a nice 'quality of life' improvement, a longer shop-vac hose is definitely on the list. and this Cen-Tec fits the bill just fine.

Love the hose. Huge improvement over the standard stiff hose. Flexible and easy to hang up when not using it.

It fits my "Shop Vac" (a Ridgid shop-vac-like vacuum) that uses 2.5" hoses. The connector included that connects to the vacuum is tapered so that it'll fit anything that uses hoses sized between 2.125 & 2.5 inches.What you get in the box is the gray plastic hose and two black plastic ends that you screw onto the hose. They do not lock on or even stay particularly firmly attached from friction. The one end that connects to whatever tool you're using twists completely around so that what every orientation you need for your tool can readily be accommodated. The hose itself is surprisingly durable. Better than the hoses that normally come with a shop-vac-like vacuum by A LOT.Despite it's description, the hose isn't particularly stream-lined, air-flow-wise, and attaching it to the vacuum raises the motors RPM considerably as the motor struggles to pull in air through this 1.25 inch hose (half the diameter) connecting to a vacuum designed for a 2.5" hose. Air-flow is significantly impinged, so don't expect big sucking action from your monster 6hp super-sucker.The hose is fairly crush-proof and quite flexible. It's slick surface helps the hose to slide along surfaces, but the DEEP spiral crevice that runs the length of hose tends to try and snag on things, so it's basically a wash, sliding-wise.The length, combined with the great flexibility, are a welcome modification to the normal routine encountered while vacuuming with shop-vac-like vacuums. The hose is super-slinky and slinks right along, when it's not getting snagged on something Like I said, earlier: it isn't snag-prone, nor is it snag-proof. It just snags sometimes.With these few gripes aside, overall I'm happy with the product. It is doing what I need doing and saving me all kinds of frustration.

If you need a longer hose to vacuum and not have to drag an extra long extension cord around, this will do the job, especially if you want to vacuum something that is tall like a shelf or walls, etc. The hose that comes with the shop vac is short but sometimes you need a longer hose. There are other lengths available also. The suction is as good as the shorter hose.

Fits great and high quality just like the original one but longer hose and great suction from a smaller diameter hose for the extra lengthIt also fits any of my other vacuums that measure 2 1/4 inch for the hose inlet

With a vacuum-powered brush on one end, two clamps turn this hose into the ideal, safe and easy to use attachment I needed to vacuum stairs, my car and any tight spots that need a really good cleaning.
