Review on πŸ”Œ Centec Systems 94709 Quick Click 16 Foot Hose with Expanded Power Tool Adapter Set for Home and Shop Vacuums, Silver by Bohyun Rossetti

Revainrating 2 out of 5

A very stupid production error.

I really wanted to like this product. But it shouldn't be. Here we have a silly way to screw up the product. I don't think I'm alone in considering the 1-1/2" vacuum nozzle to be the most important part in a kit. I have 5 tools that use this size. The inner diameter of this nozzle is 1-9mm. /16" and 1-5/8". When a 1-1/2" vacuum nozzle is placed on the spigot end of a separate tool, there is no contact. It might be possible to use a hose clamp to secure the connection, but such a system shouldn't work. Rest The set: 3/4" nozzle perfect for eccentric sanders 1" nozzle fits securely on multi-tool. I have not tried 1-1/4" jets after seeing the 1-1/2" jet not working. Had 1-1/2" worked, I might try modifying the 1-1/4" bit to fit a couple of instruments that have tips near 1-3/8". , but due to a problem with the 1-1/2" I didn't bother. The hose is perfect for a workshop vacuum cleaner. The inside of the hose is advertised as smooth. Not quite smooth, but smoother than similar vacuum hoses. I think it's a good quality. Although I am unsure of the system's longevity for presses or how strong it is. This quick change feature piqued my interest in this system, as did the promoted smooth inner surface of the hose. These 2 features were the deciding factors for choosing this system over the "R" system. I haven't even tried this system yet. The Cen-Tec system has been brought back. While I had this system, I ordered the "R" dust extraction system. Nozzles ΒΎ", 1" and 1-1/2" are ideal for tools. I used a drum sander in a drill to enlarge the 1-1/4" bit to work with 1-3/8" pickup ends. The system hose "R" is a typical vacuum hose as it is not smooth on the inside. However, it is a heavier hose than the Cen-Tec hose. If Cen-Tec releases version 2 of their system, it might be worth considering.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • thin
