My old Ridgid Shop Vac went to the Big Shop in the junk yard so I replaced it. I got the same size, 6.5 hp (yeah right), 16 gallon Ridgid. I figured I might as well finally get a couple of real adapters for my TS, BS and jointer instead of my mickey mouse makeshift ones.

So here's the question; On Rocklers website, they list some different adapters. Among others they list a 4" to 2 1/2" reducer and also a 'Shop Vac Adapter". A notation say that the "Shop Vac Adapter works with 2 1/2" hose". What's the difference between the adapter and the reducer and which one should I get?

Thanks very much for your information.
