The WORKSHOP expandable hose is the most flexible and maneuverable hose in our line. This versatile hose expands from a compact 2' to 7' length for extended reach. The 1-7/8" diameter provides a great blend of maneuverability and airflow. The locking tab secures the hose tightly to the vacuum, preventing the hose from coming loose and loosing suction. However, it can be removed quickly and easy without screwing or twisting.
