Doesn't fit most 2-1/2" Rigid vacs
What a bummer! What you get is not what is spec'ed out. Over the years I have bought 4 different 2-1/2" hoses. All fit fine on my 3 different Rigid vac's. It was time to buy another so I checked the spec's, confirmed it was a 2-1/2" hose bought it, waited 12 days to get it, opened the box and found 4 connectors in the box. All 4 were only 2-1/4". Sad to say a 2-1/4" hose does NOT fit in a 2-1/2" hole. The gap is so large I can fit 3 pencils in the gap. See pictures below. Time to do a return

I thought I might be able to adapt the 2-1/2 hose to fit my smaller size wet/dry vacuum to make the hose longer. I did kind of make it work and I think it will be fine for my needs. So far it works OK for the dry vacuum and I am hoping it will work for the wet vacuum as well. I haven't found a adapter yet that will actually work.

DOESN'T FIT - Plain and Simple
Stop posting call customer service. You market this as fitting ALL Rigid Shop vacs and it simply DOES NOT! Why do I have to make an other trip due to your incompetence? Time is money and you have wasted my time so you owe me money. Measurements are wrong, statement that it fits all Rigid Vacs are wrong. Flat out lies.
DON'T BUY THIS PRODUCT.

I am using this to attach to my rigid vac...
I am using this to attach to my rigid vac in the garage but I don’t want to move the dust collection cart when we use it to clean our cars. I bought this item to provide that reach we were looking for. If you’re hesitating, don’t, just get it. The only thing I’ll say is the box arrived completely destroyed by some third party carrier after they held it at their warehouse for over a week and finally delivered on a holiday. I’ll ship to store from now on even though that can also be a pain.

Response to Ridgid's response
While you're reviewing the description on the website you should review the description on the box because it says the same thing- fits all Ridgid vacs. BTW the description on the website says fits most rigid vacs but it also says fits all Ridgid vacs.

If you have an old Rigid Shop Vac, here is the fix to make this hose work with it!
I was dismayed to discover this hose does nopt fit older Rigid Shyop Vac. It is not 2 1/2" but 2". I am desperate. I have a large coastal property on a lake and now is the time to sell. I delayed major interior remodeling because it involves a lot of sheetrock cutting, and wood and sheetrock sanding. I ordered this hose and a boatload of the shop-vac liner bags. Was already to work today and discovered this hose does not fit older Rigid Shop Vacs. I am desperat6e and was going to just duck tape this to my old cracked hose so I could work, but while sizing everything up I realized the part of the old hose and new hose where the locking "pull-along" attachment fits are identical in size. OK. This is not easy, and took me close to an hour, but I was able to revove the old connector (easy because I just slashed off the hose) and attachj it to the new hose. Looks and works like brand new, and all my other attachments fit fine. The attached photo shows the end result, and the tools needed. The HARD, TEDIOUS part comes after you saw off the exposed end of the attachment on the new hose. Then you have to VERY CAREFULLY cut out the interior of the attachment part that is inside the new hose. It is critical you not cut the new hose. If you do at this critical juncture it will quickly fail on you. I slowly cut by hand, sliding my carpenter's knife at an angloe between the inside of the hose and the part you are removing. I wore l;eather gloves, as this is a tricky cut to do. I made multiple cuts an inch apart and used the bent needle nose pliers to work it out when I got to the bottom. If you own an old shop vac you are probably an old carpenter like me, and should be able to handle this. Now it is absolutely as good as new. Well, I guess technically it is mostly new! :)

Works on my 1990's Craftsman Wet/Dry Vac
I have a 1990's era Craftsman wet/dry vac, Model 113.177490, that came with a 2-1/2" hose using 2-1/4" tips. Although this hose is noticeably thinner walled that the OE hose, it works almost perfectly. The part number for my manufacturer discontinued vac hose was 9-17820. The only issue, and it is very minor, is that the pre-assembled end of this hose has a locking adapter (part #3 in the product photo above) pre-installed on one end. It is not tapered like the Craftsman hose tip and relies on a lock to hold. No worries. Two wraps of clear packing tape fixed it. Note that the other end of the hose, when fitted with the included friction adapter (part #2 in the product photo), works great.
