Rockler introduces dust collection’s ‘missing link’

Rockler Woodworking and Hardware says it developed a single dust hose kit that fits the vast majority of handheld power tools on the market, despite variations in the size and shape of their dust ports.

The Dust Right Universal Small Port Hose Kit features two sizes of swiveling hose ports with rubber ends that stretch to provide an airtight fit on a range of tool ports. They're also angled to provide hose clearance above the work surface, according to the company.

"The Universal Small Port Hose Kit is the missing link in dust collection for handheld power tools," Rockler vice president of marketing and strategy Steve Krohmer said in a statement. "The best way to control dust is to capture it at the source and, with this one kit, you can connect virtually any small power tool in your shop to a standard shop vacuum or dust collector."

The kit sells for $39.99. Visit www.rockler.com.
