I bought this hose over 10 yrs ago. It is very well made. There is NO comparison in this hose and the hose that comes with a shop vac. This hose reminds me of a hose that you use with a commercial automotive vacuum or a car wash vacuum. Well worth the money. PLEASE NOTE.....If you want to use "stock" attachments that came with your vacuum, you will need an adapter. I didn't need one because we use our vac for our trks and suv's. Awesome hose!!!!!
