Customer Reviews:

The only workable adaptor for diverse tools [Posted on 2005-09-19]
I use several of these Fein step adaptors (drawing into either the 4" shop system or to one of my Porter-Cable vacuums). They provide a reliable friction fit into the dust tubes of every Bosch and Makita tool I own, and plenty of others as well. I have found that the Jet and other brands of step adaptor just aren't worth the effort: Poor fit means I have to tape them into place, which means that I've just dedicated a crummy little adaptor to one machine or portable tool. Nuts.

Until there's a law that all light machines and portable tools must have the same size TAPERED dust portal, I'll happily go on settling for this tapered fitting and skip the rest of the plastic.

Oh yeah. The Fein is also better made and more durable than its competitors -- vital for a piece of plastic that's always getting pulled out of one fit-up and jambed into another.

adaptor [Posted on 2006-02-01]
I expected it to be a larger diamater, but it will work fine on my sander port. I must have missed the noted size when I ordered it.

Great adapter [Posted on 2007-01-11]
The step adapter is a great convenience and money saver. It does not appear to be widely advertised or carried by stores, but it does mean that I do not have to spend $90 on the Fein stainless steel accessory kit. I can use my wands, brushes and accessories from my old shop vacuum. The stainless steel kit may be a good investment for a commercial shop, but my old plastic tools are just fine for my home shop.

Best Vacuum Adapter . . . Ever [Posted on 2007-02-07]
Every other vacuum adapter I've tried doesn't "quite fit" the tools I'm trying to hook to my shop vac. The Fein Step Adaptor is made of a soft rubber that is not only stepped to reasonably useful sizes, but that also stretches to fit when the step you've cut it off at is just a tad small. Great gadget. The down side? Pricey!

Buy It; You're Going to Need It [Posted on 2007-12-12]
I had the foresight to buy this adapter when I bought the Turbo II. Good move. Fein's 1 1/4" hose fits hardly anything, so you're going to have to adapt. This adapter is better than most - solid rubber without being too rigid. Stays where it is put. If you have a lot of tools, you might want to get a few.
