This is an excellent quality hose that will not kink. The two tools that come with the hose are OK but initially they were difficult to attach to the light gray end of the hose. The gray end piece was slightly misshaped probably from packing. After a couple of tries it stretched out enough to fit on the tools although very snug fitting. That said, I would strongly suggest you go to mrnozzleinc.com site to get the ID and OD dimensions for this kit before you purchase it. I have a stainless steel version of the Shop Vac brand wet-dry vacuum and the hose is a 2 1/2" with a screw-in swivel hose attachment. The Mr Nozzle hose (black end) fits inside the existing hose attachment opening but it is held in place by friction and it does not insert very far in. One good tug and out comes the hose. The gray end is for 1 1/2" nozzles. I'm purchasing three different adapters which is equal to 2/3rds of the cost of the kit so I can jury-rig  the original Shop Vac swivel end to the new hose. I originally was going to buy the "raw" hose from Amazon and purchase some adapters to make the connections. I changed my mind and decided to buy a finished product that included a couple of cleaning tools. I figured for a few dollars more I wouldn't have to mess with the hose and get some extra attachments as a bonus. Boy was I mistaken. The description on Amazon stated: "Designed to fit all standard wet/dry vacs". That is not the case.
