Bought to be able to work as extension hose for Kärcher vacuum cleaner effectively with the eccentric sander. Was delivered a 1 meter long, fairly rigid tube which is more reminded of a Leerror for electrical cables and as flexible. The loss of suction during use of this part is so immense that I have retired him quickly. The "pipes" when extending the "normal" vacuum cleaner hose, I can confirm. If I were to wring something positive this bad buy, I can mention the adapter: The making very good services. It is made of a slightly flexible, durable plastic.
