Shop Vac hose replacement

[Alan Marchbanks]

Does anyone know of a good quality replacement for the Shop Vac 2 1/2" vacuum hose? The OEM hose has a strong tendancy to kink at the vacumm connection and at the tool connection. Thanks.

I like this one I bought from my local wood supplier.

The hoses are also sold at Lowe's and HD. They are marked as crush proof or crush resistant.

I bought one due to the standard hose collapsing and then melting because of the ash it is sucking (still warm). Been very impressed.

ditto on that hose choice
