For years I've struggled with adapters connected to adapters to make this particular adapter work. Now I found a way to toss all of them, but this adapter.Buy the Rigid “Premium Car Cleaning Kit”. It must be this kit. It's the hose plus vacuum accessories. About $52 at Home Depot. If you buy the shop VAC hose this will not work. The car cleaning kit is a 1 1/4” hose. Once you get it, unscrew the small adapter on the hose. Remember it turns opposite of normal. Now screw on your DeWALT adapter. The other side of the hose will fit into your DeWALT shop VAC or any other shop VAC as it's a 2 1/2” connector. It's perfect. Not close. It's a perfect fit. Now this will work like the expensive $400 DeWALT dust extractor. It's amazing, now every vacuum attached DeWALT tool works. Hose is great, better than the DeWALT hose and zero adapters. Finally an answer to this nonsense. Just used 3 tools tonight. No adapters!
