Turn me on ...  [Posted on 2007-02-26]
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.

Not spectacular... [Posted on 2007-05-03]
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.

Works well [Posted on 2008-01-02]
I've used it using a 4" hose to connect it to different machines. For the most part it works well but for some machines it will just get disconnected (no matter how hard you press it). I've found that using duct tape or masking tape around the machine's port helps to keep this adaptor from falling.

Perfect for tool connections [Posted on 2008-03-15]
Bought 4 of these and installed on the ends of two different length flex hoses. They are great for connecting up the different tools to the dust collector. The angle on the flange is big enough so they fit the tools, but small enough so they don't slip off.

Doesn't Work [Posted on 2008-07-31]
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). In my opinion, the plastic is too hard and they should have a taper. They have only a more-or-less round end and no taper. Result - they don't slide on most machines' dust outlets deeply enough, they don't fully seal, and they don't seat. I went back to using the raw hose end, which works fine when using a soft hose.
