I want to add some dust collection to my drill press. I have been looking at these two:

I have seen some here that have the loc-line and it looks great.

Does anyone here have this one from PeachTree?

Any big advantage for either? Is one significantly better than the other?

Thanks

I have Penn State Industries version of the "LocLine" and I hang the tubing from a loop made of sturdy string. This approach allows me to easily move the hose in or out as needed. I do not need the bracket. Overall it works well.

I have the blue and orange version so I must have got it from leevalley. Works well. No complaints.

Have the locline from LV and it works well.
Have some 1/4" on order to try as an air blower on my scroll saw.

I tried a few setups that were held near the work and often found adjusting things to be awkward. I found most rigs attached at close quarters to be restrictive and ended up with a long-ish Flex-form hose (goes by other names).

It is overly long to reach around the DP fixtures or the work and "returns" to its home location if not required by simply holding your hand over the opening while the vac is on. I use a remote switch that kick the vac on along with the DP.
