I just bought some of this hose.

I think its the best I have ever seen. It combines the characteristics of =
a good quality hose (sturdy wire wrap, thick plastic) and the desirable qua=
lity of being very extensible/collapsable. It is not like that cheap flims=
y expandable hose with the thin wall - the stuff you see at some woodworker=
shows.
It holds its round shape and does not kink when partially collapsed. The e=
xpand/collapse ratio is 7:1. That is a hose that expands to 14 feet will co=
llapse to 2 feet.
I recommend this product. Oh by the way, its Rockler blue so be sure it mat=
ches the decor of your shop.

Ok, Walt, but you need to learn to communicate more clearly. We are not mi=
nd-readers. A single picture with no information or explanation doesn't say=
much.
It looks like Rockler is having some quality issues, based on some of the r=
eviews. My experience with Rockler backing their product is excellent. We=
'll see how this goes. There are lots of reviews from people who like the =
product a lot, but its too new to determine if its poor design or bad lot q=
uality or something else. I am sorry I recommended it so quickly. Obvious=
ly, I like it a lot. In the past, I have avoided all forms of flex hose be=
cause of the flow resistance it causes. But some tools (especially table s=
aws) have dramatically improved dust collection efficiency and its not so m=
uch an issue.

...and with the pic, came these words:
Hose Breakdown
I have liked this hose for it's ability to stretch out and then collapse back down to fit in small
places. However, I have had the hose for less than six months and it is breaking down. The
wire structure the plastic is wrapped around is breaking through the plastic. See attached
photo.

It's not my job to hold your hand or write a treatise on the err of
posting a review for an item you "just bought".

It speaks volumes about how little research you did before writing
your premature review.

To me it looks like glorified Clothes Dryer vent hose and as such is not
made to be pulled around on the floor scouring away the thin plastic
over the coil wire. To me, the fact that the coil wire came out is to be
expected. Once that starts I would expect the partial vacuum to make it
worse very quickly.

I like Rockler products but much of it is overpriced and some are not as
durable or long lasting as they should be, IMO.
