Tools and Hardware Reviews of Bosch VAC001 19mm-by-15-Foot Friction Fit Hose
Customer Review: Works for me.
Summary: 4 Stars
I agree with the other comments that it is a light weight plastic. But that is what I like about it. When using a hand held router or sander the other heavy hoses tend to pull against you. I also like the hose because it is extra long. My shop vac hose is only about 6 feet. The 15' in this hose lets you move around the work piece with out having to lug the shop vac with you.
I've used this hose for about 3 months now. I've even stepped on it a few times and have not had it collapse on me. Maybe my shop vac is not strong enough, but even then there is a flow control to reduce the suction in the hose.
In my opinion this product is fine. Maybe after several more months or years of use these other folks comments will come true.
Customer Review: Poor Durability
Summary: 1 Stars
PROs - Lightweight, flexible and easy to use with portable tools. Really works well with hand drywall sanding tool.
CONs - Contrary to the photo on the amazon website, this hose is not reinforced like the original equipment hose that came with my Bosch 3931 professional vacuum. It is constructed of a very flimsy flexible plastic which is very easy to pinch. Once pinched, the hose collapses whenever the hose intake is restricted and further reduces air flow. It was a waste of money. I will need to obtain a reinforced hose which does not have this problem.
Customer Review: Works For Me.
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't quite understand where the other reviewers are coming from.
I have the VAC001 hose and use it with my Bosch sanders and Bosch 11221DVS hammer. Both of my non-Bosch vacuum cleaners have standard 2-1/4" "female" ports that accept most vacuum hoses (including the VAC001) and use a friction fit to hold them.
The 001 hose is 15' long and light weight, and it's got an airflow contol at the vacuum cleaner end to prevent the vacuum cleaner from "overpowering" power tools.
The reviewer from 3 years ago must have received a defective unit. I've had mine for two years and have been quite happy with it.
Customer Review: An alternative
Summary: 3 Stars
After reading the comments on Amazon and elsewhere, looking at the unnecessarily large hose shown in the picture, and looking at the price, I decided to try to make an adapter for my existing Porter-Cable #39332 hose. No luck at the local auto supply store, but the local plumbing supply house found that a 1" O.D. grey plastic coupling with outside threads on both ends worked great. They carefully tapped the inside of the outlet on my Bosch 1294 detail sander and screwed the coupler inside. The PC 39332 intake (1" I.D.) slides snugly over the other end of the coupler.Customer Review: waste of money
Summary: 1 Stars
I would recommend that you stay away from this product. Don't even think about buying it. If you are sanding buy the 1" adapter for your sander and look elseware for a vacuum hose. Poor design, low quality plastic materials make this product a complete waste of money. RUN AWAY!
