What is the diameter of the hose that the attachments hook onto? Is it the same as a Shop-Vac? I bought some mini-tools for dusting out electronics.

It's about 6 maybe 6 1/2 inches in diameter. Don't know about the shop vac. I never owned one.

I'm not sure I understand the question The vacuum hose size is for the small shop vac hose versus a large shop

No you cannot easily connect to a shop vac. The port coming off the sander is too small and the connector to the bag is oddly shaped so you can't even tape a hose to it. You could order a special adaptor from a third party and hope it doesn't fall off. For less money both DeWalt and Milwakee make sanders that easily accept shop vac hoses. There is much less dust when connected to the suction of a vac than used with just a tiny bag for collection.

Yes; it connects to most shop vac hoses, some may need the enclosed adapter.

It's actually 2 hard plastic ends attached to a flexible rectangular tube. A side view would be better. I can't figure out how to add pics. The flexible piece is 17.5". The crevice tool is approx 2"(+1" inside the tube). The vacuum hose end is 4.25"(+1" inside the tube). Total length 23". The outside dimensions of the tube are approx 1 1/8" x 1/2". It works great for dust, lint, etc., or reaching larger things that you just want to grab...not suck up.

It does not connect to a shop vac hose at all. I am returning mine. You might be able to cobble an adaptor with duck tape but why bother as other sanders are connectable. The little bag is not adequate for heavy sanding and a shop vac in necessary when doing heavy sanding to keep the dust down.

The diameter coming out of the vacuum (blue) is 2 and 1/2 inches and the hose (black) is a screw on type with a diameter of 2 and 3/4 inches. All parts fit perfectly.

Frankly, it took me a few trys (and maybe a couple of dirty words!) to figure this out. The larger attachment with the smaller end fits on the wand of my vac. I then take the clear rubber hose and put the end w/o the black adapter on the small end of that. Then any of the little tools will fit on the black adapter of the clear hose. I got this to vac my sewing machine out after a big project and really like it. I think it does a great job! (with and without dirty words!)

I did a quick search on the Metro Vac VM and can find no listing. That being said, what size is the nozzle you need to hook the hose to? The diameter of the hose is 1.5" and the length is 72" (Just in case you wanted to know how long it is)

It fits my shop vac and my ash vac but I don't know what size the hoses are. The adapter has two different ends. Hope this was of some help.

The hose end that fits into the vac is 2.25"dia. OD which fits my ShopVac brand vac. Measure the hose that came with your Ridgid vac. Probably similar.

You should be ok. I added some hose that was was not Shop-Vac and had no problems. Attachments from older household vacuums don't always fit though.

The hose has a 2.5" end that fits perfectly on either my Craftsman shop vac or my Oneida Dust Deputy. It's an excellent hose! It's far more flexible that the Craftsman hoses and easier to work with.

It's designed for shop vac. The opening is probably too large for a regular vacuum unless you can rig up something to make the connection airtight.

I don't know. But, it comes with an adapter that works with my small shop vac. The adapter will connect slips onto the hose and then you attach the Dyson fittings.

My husband who owned a vacuum cleaner shop said it depends on the size of your hose. He said most shop vaccuums have three inch hoses and that would not work with this brush unless you got a reducer to make it fit. Hope this helps

The outsize port from the sander is 1 and 1/4". My shop vac is 2 and 1/2". I use the adapt. that comes with the sander and attach it to a 1 and 1/4 x 2 and 1/2 adapt. to my hose,zip tie the power cord of the sander to my vac hose to hold them together then away I go. When I'M done I cut the zip ties,then stow away. It works great. I got the adapt. at Home Depot.
