A dust collection option to Festool and Rockler kits

After purchasing a Festool Domino I started looking for a dust collection option. The Festool hose is so expensive and the Rockler kit was on backorder at the time. So i sat down and started to do some research and found this kit on amazon and it is perfect, cost effection, and in stock.

The Cen-Tec 94181 is a great dust collection option to the Festool hose and connector and the Rockler dust rite system. The hose comes in different lengths and comes with two adapters for common port sizes seen today. They also sell different sized adapters incase you need a special size for your tool. With this one hose and a set of adapters I was able to hook all of my smaller tools to the shop vac and keep my lungs cleaner.
