Peachtree Woodworking Supply 10 Foot Long Dust Collection Power Tool Hose Kit with 8 Fittings/Attachments for Multiple Types/Brands of Power Tools and Work Shop Vacuums Featuring Sili Flex Fit Fittings

Why I reached for this hose kit

I’ve tested my share of “universal” dust hose kits, and most leave you rummaging for yet another adapter when it’s time to switch tools. The Peachtree hose kit promised something different: a compact, 10‑foot whip hose with stretchable silicone fittings designed to wrap around oddball tool ports and a handful of threaded and ribbed adapters to cover the rest. I put it to work across a week of sanding, routing, and trimming to see if it could simplify my small-tool dust collection without dragging a 2-1/2" hose around the shop.

What’s in the kit

The kit centers on a 10-foot small-diameter hose (about 1-3/16" outside diameter), which keeps weight and drag down. You also get:

• Three Sili Flex Fit fittings (threaded on one end, flexible silicone on the other) in different diameters
• Two small rubber thread-on fittings
• Two rubber adapters with ribbed ends
• One plug-in vacuum adapter (hard plastic)

The idea is straightforward: thread a connector onto the hose, stretch or insert the opposite end onto your tool port, and plug the other end into a shop vacuum or dust extractor using the included adapter.

Setup and fitment

Setup was mostly painless. The hose threads into the fittings—note that the direction is counterclockwise, which is easy to forget the first few times. The silicone “Sili Flex” ends are the star here: they stretch enough to seal firmly over many molded tool ports without cracking or feeling mushy. On my random-orbit sander, compact router, and trim router, I was able to get snug, airtight connections with the silicone fittings alone. For a couple of older tools with slightly undersized outlets, a wrap or two of electrical tape brought the fit into perfect tolerance.

Connecting to vacuums is always the wildcard. The kit’s plug-in vacuum adapter worked with one of my small shop vacs out of the box. On another vac with a different collar profile, I used one of the ribbed adapters and got a solid friction fit. As with any dust setup, port dimensions vary widely by brand and era, so I strongly recommend measuring your tool and vacuum ports (inside and outside diameter) before you commit. The kit is aimed at tool-to-vac connections; if you’re hoping to mate the included hose directly to an existing 2-1/2" shop vac hose, you may need an extra coupler that isn’t in the box.

Performance on handheld tools

This is the environment where the Peachtree hose kit makes the most sense. The small hose diameter prioritizes suction velocity right at the dust source rather than sheer airflow volume. With sanders, that matters: fine dust is lightweight and benefits from high air speed at the port. During sanding runs on birch ply and maple, extraction was excellent—far better than the bagged, on-tool filters most sanders ship with. My compact router stayed surprisingly clean too, especially during edge profiling where chips like to spray everywhere.

The 10-foot length strikes a good balance. Long enough to give you reach across a bench or outfeed table without moving the vac, short enough to keep weight and drag under control. If you need even less pull on a lightweight vac or cordless unit, you can cut the hose to make a short whip; I trimmed off a 3-foot section for a benchtop sander station, and the reduction in tug on the tool was noticeable.

Performance on larger machines

Swap in a miter saw or a contractor-style table saw, and expectations should change. Large tools with open cavities or poorly concentrated dust ports rely more on airflow volume than velocity, and a small-diameter hose just can’t move chips fast enough during heavy cutting. On my benchtop miter saw, the hose captured some of the fine dust at the rear chute but did little for the plume that escapes near the blade. On a portable table saw, it helped with light rip cuts, but any deep, fast cut overwhelmed the system. If your primary need is high-volume chip collection, a 2-1/2" hose routed to a higher-CFM collector will be more appropriate.

That said, for trim routers, biscuit joiners, detail sanders, and similar small-port tools, this kit is a strong match. It’s also a handy secondary hose for catching dust at a drill press or oscillating spindle sander when paired with a small vac or extractor.

Hose quality and handling

The hose is light, flexible, and more puncture-resistant than it looks. I dragged it across concrete littered with cutoffs and fasteners and saw no damage. Kinking wasn’t an issue in normal use, and it recoils without the stiff “spring-back” that can tug at your tool mid-cut. The small diameter is a deliberate design choice—great for handheld tool control, less ideal for bulk debris. The threaded connections stayed put; I didn’t have a fitting unthread itself during use, though I made a habit of giving them a quick check when swapping tools.

One note: the hard plastic plug-in adapter feels less premium than the silicone and rubber pieces. It works, but I wouldn’t mind a slightly grippier material or a molded detent for vacs with locking collars.

Ergonomics and workflow tips

• Support the hose: Clip the hose to a belt loop or overhead bungee to take the load off small cordless vacs and reduce strain at the tool port.
• Shorten strategically: If you’re building a dedicated sanding station, cutting a shorter section of hose makes the setup feel almost weightless.
• Dial in fit: Keep a small roll of electrical or silicone rescue tape at the bench to fine-tune odd port sizes without permanent mods.
• Mind flow path: Avoid tight 180-degree turns right at the tool; gentle curves keep air moving and reduce clogs.

Compatibility caveats

• Measure port sizes. Tool and vacuum ports are not standardized, and “1-1/4 inch” can mean different actual dimensions depending on inside/outside measurements and taper.
• Friction vs threaded connections. The kit’s fittings are designed to thread onto the included hose. If your plan is to screw these onto a different hose or shove them into an existing friction-fit setup, expect mixed results without a separate coupler.
• Small-diameter reality. This is not a replacement for a full 2-1/2" hose on planers, jointers, or high-chip-volume cuts.

What I’d change

• Include one more silicone adapter sized for common 2-1/2" interfaces or a universal coupler to bridge to larger hoses.
• Add a light detent or locking feature on the plug-in vacuum adapter for vacs with proprietary collars.
• A short printed sizing card (with common inside/outside diameter reference marks) would help people confirm fits before unboxing.

Value and use case

As a “tool whip” that lives between small-port tools and a shop vacuum or dust extractor, the Peachtree hose kit makes a lot of sense. It streamlines a task that’s usually more adapter-scavenger-hunt than woodworking. The silicone fittings cover a surprising range of port shapes and sizes, the hose is pleasant to handle, and the performance on sanders and small routers is strong. If your primary dust challenge is handheld tools, this kit will simplify your setup. If your core need is collecting chips from larger machines, look to a bigger hose and higher-CFM collector, and treat this as a supplemental solution for the small stuff.

Recommendation

I recommend the Peachtree hose kit for anyone who wants a light, flexible, small-diameter whip hose to connect handheld tools—especially sanders, trim routers, and biscuit joiners—to a shop vac or dust extractor. It’s easy to configure, the silicone fittings reduce adapter frustration, and the hose handles well on the bench. Just go in with the right expectations: it’s not intended for high-volume chip collection, and some vac and hose combinations may still require an extra coupler. Measure your ports, plan your connections, and this kit will tidy up the dusty end of your small-tool workflow.
