Customer Reviews

Turn me on ...
I already have one of these and needed a 2nd one. I like this style disconnect because no clamp is needed to hold on the hose.

The 4 inch hose just screws right on the end and hold very firm and air-tight. The other end, well, after all these years you would think that they would make a quick disconnect end that fits over the fitting a bit better, but it still fits enough to give an airtight seal. It is definitely OK for the designed usage of moving it from one machine to another.

If the fit was better I'd rate it 5 stars. Also, be wary of the price, this item can usually be had for less than $3.00.

Doesn't Work
These have a really, really basic problem - they fall off. Another reviewer mentions using duct tape to hold them on - which completely flies in the face of their purpose - to quickly move the hose from machine to machine. The plastic is too hard and the taper isn't designed properly. Manufacturing quality isn't great - they are only more-or-less round and given the taper problems and hard plastic, the results aren't good: They don't slide on most machines' dust outlets deeply enough, they don't seat, and they don't fully seal. I went back to using the raw hose end, which works fine when using a soft hose.

Not spectacular...
I found it a little difficult to get it to thread on my 4" pipe and it didn't seem like it would stay put without a spring clamp. Serves it's purpose though.
