Now this is a shop vacuum hose!  Well made, durable, effective.  The long reach is super; saves always dragging the vacuum unit, just for an extra foot of reach.  Note: The claw attachment works great, and it fits just fine. (I think I read someone complain about it not fitting.)  This attachment, on first try, feels like it won't fit--but it does.  It's a snug fit, that's all.  This hose replaced a heavily used, taped up with duct tap, falling apart hose on my old Craftsman vac.  When my neighbor saw the new hose, she said, "Oh, you got a new vac?"  Actually, I bought the vac in 1976!  It's been hiding in the corner, looking like junk, neglected for years.  This new hose resurrected it!
