Super Flexible Hose Manufacturer

[ornery]

Good Day,

Been scouring the Internet for a vacuum hose to use on a shop vacuum. The 2" hose it came with is cheap and stiff. Small wonder since the thing is only a $50 unit from Sears. I want to step it down to a 1-1/4 or 1-1/2" x 7' hose, and I want it to be really nice and flexible. It will be used to clean up filings and dust around my work benches without moving the small canister vacuum itself, which is under one bench.

I have no way of knowing how flexible hoses are when purchasing online, and there are really no vacuum outlets around here to handle them before I buy. Hoping somebody here can point me to a nice quality manufacturer to buy it from, please.

Thanks, John

Try a local vacuum shop that deals with central vacuums.Often they can make up a replacement hose for you and may even have the adaptors to fit your Craftsman Shop Vac.Also Sears may have such hose adaptors.However the narrow hoses won't pass debris so good-and can clog.The 2" shop vac hoses are best for bulky shop wood or other debris.
