Where is it? [Posted on 2005-10-05]
Ordered it and then canceled it 3 days later when time to ship was still another week away. Shipping was an incredible $9.99 while the other two Bosch vacuum adapters shipped together for only $7.69 the day after the order.

DOES NOT FIT-Don't waste your time and money-STAY AWAY FROM THIS [Posted on 2006-07-19]
I bought a Bosch 1250DEVS sander. I read review of it by EvilTwin and he stated this VAC002 didn't fit. I called Bosch and desribed to them I had a 1 1/4" standard hose. They told me it would fit. Took the chance, now regret it. EvilTwin was correct, IT DOESN'T FIT. One end slips on the tool loosely, but the hose won't fit on other end. I reversed it, hose fitting on other end but adapter is too small to fit on the dust port. I tried forcing it on, then decided to shave a little off the adapter and tool port. It is usable but does not stay on. Thought about returning but postage costs as much as adapter. You have been warned, don't buy this.

S. Yee "Screw It" from NY was absolutely correct. I read the review and ordered it anyway. IT DOES NOT FIT. How could Bosch do this?

Does not work as an adaptor for Bosch vacuum hoses to smaller commonly sold household vacuum attachments.

Another Use For It! [Posted on 2008-07-01]
Stop complaining, guys. I don't know if the VAC002 adapter fits any of the Bosch tools mentioned, but it does fit the 36mm dust port on my Festool TS 55 plunge cut saw. This allows you to connect a standard Shop Vac 1-1/4 inch hose to the inside of the adapter's outlet or, as I did, connect a Mr Nozzle 15 ft hose to the 1-1/2 inch outside of the adapter's outlet. The benefit of all this is to allow one to connect the metric sized Festool product to a standard sized Shop Vac, a lower cost alternative to going the extra expense of purchasing the Festool dust extractor and assessories. Since I currently own 3 different size Shop Vacs, why buy another vac just for the saw? I am not aware of any other adapters with these dimensions, so this one is worth 5 stars from me. I hope this little tip might be useful to others in a similar situation.
