Hi all,
I hope this is not off-topic but I haven't been able to find any answers online. A while back a bought one of these and I love the length and flexibility but there is one thing I can't figure out.
It came with a thick O-ring mounted in the groove at the attachment end. You have to remove the ring in order to fit the 35mm dust ports on Bosch tools and I have a Bosch adapter to adapt to 1-1/4" ports. With the O-ring in place it doesn't fit any vac attachment I own and I have them in 1-1/4", 1-7/8" (Ridgid), and standard 2-1/2".
So my question is what does the O-ring do?
