Porter-Cable 39342 Step Adapter

• .

Price Worth It? Often yes - This Adapter is 3 times more expensive than the Fein however a significant difference is the large end is threaded to directly screw on to a bare hose. The Fein adapter is a multi stepped adapter which is pushed on to your normal hose end and allows connection to smaller or perhaps larger vacuum ports on tools.For the money I prefer this adapter especally for tools on which the addition of an intermediate piece ends up making the hose connection unwieldy on the job. At the cost of labor per hour, I don t need to hinder the work to save $11 dollars on the purchase. (I purchased on of each to see what the difference is.)

porter cable adapter - Step adapter allows user to find the correct diameter connection to adapte up or down to, works great and stays connected. I used it to connect larger diameter shop vacuum hose to my Porter Cable belt sander.

Utterly rediculous price - The product is just a simple rubber step adapter about 4 long. Fits in the palm of your hand. The price is an unbelievable $16.71!! For comparison, I also just received two Fein rubber step adapters, each also about 4 long for $5.24 each. The Fein and PC products are almost identical except for the slight differences in diameters they were made for.

It is what it is and does what it is supposed to do. - It is hard not to go to a multi-adapter for dust collection every so often. Simply cut off what you don t need and this solves the problem.I have used these on large machines and small hand sanders. Buy a couple of these to get that dust at the source and you will breathe easeir and spend less time cleaning up the shop.
