Shop Vac Hose Replacement

Sean Farrell

New Year..new year resolution to clean up the garage. I have a shop vac long abused, the 100mm hose needs replacing (the gaffer tape cover up is no longer a viable option). I just need 2m of flexihose... i thought if i used any more then it would affect the suction. I'm in D8 and checked this crowd out on Naas Road

Does anyone know of any other place that could do better.

Rutlands have some competitive options if you don't mind ordering from the UK:

If you go down to a weee recycling place you'll almost certainly be able to find a discarded one.

Although strictly speaking I don't think that's technically allowed...

that would be amusingly ironic if so.

Yes its amazing what u find in a skip....I once found myself in a skip one morning(after a heavy session)ta da...the old ones are the best!. The Rutlands option looks tempting... Thanks chillispoon , great value..but 18 euro for delivery is a bit off putting. But as i said earlier, should i buy I'd have a better set up than what i have now.I'll go down to Maginns on Monday...guy there said he might have an offcut...please dont get there bfore me!!! I did a bit of surgery on the remaining bit of hose ...actually improved the suction, but my back aches.:)
