hose handles
I may get these genders mixed up, I think the end of a hide a hose is a male connector and most wands and hose ends are female, again I may have that backwards. So, in order to use standard wands and attachments with a hide a hose, you attach a handle to the end of the hide a hose which also serves as an adapter. The numatic henry vacuums work this way as well. As far as I know, the volt nozzle will attach to any standard hose end without any adapters.
