The Tug-A-Long wet/dry vac hose features an expandable, extremely flexible design that locks to the vacuum while in use for a secure hold. With its expandable design, it stores easily in smaller spaces such as a cabinet or drawer.

- Fits most RIDGID wet/dry vacuums 3 Gal. and larger
- Adjustable air control valve for vacuuming delicate surfaces
- Tug-A-Long locking hose design won’t pull loose during use

Nice improvement over the stifff factory hose. Fit my rigid 4 gallon vac perfect.

I checked before and these OEM hoses were not available. Glad to be able to get one as my Ridgid vacuum is still going strong but the hose connector is wore out and doesn’t stay connected to the vacuum very well.

Hose advertised as extending to 7 feet in length. In actual use we have been lucky to get 3 feet of usable hose.

Was shipped quickly and the pieces fit together well. I can reach the majority of my gutters with it which will help us maintain things better instead of waiting to hire someone.

Exact replacement hose for my small Rigid vac. A bit pricey.

Much more flexible than the original, although it was tough to get because it looks like they did away with this model vacuum.

Works well for cleaning rain gutters with large shop vac. Would be nice if nozzle was more flexible as it’s very ridged. 100 times faster than doing by hand.

Its the same hose that comes with the vacuum so it stores nicely in the assigned compartment, unlike the one offered in the store.

I bought the Rigid Vac gutter cleaning kit and I am completely satisfied with product.It is a simple attachment to the vacuum and I can safely stay on the ground to clean my gutters of my bungalow. There is enough piping however to reach my hard to reach sections and probably a second storey application. I highly recommend this product, it is reasonably priced and leaves can either be blown out of gutter or vucuumed out.

This attachment does what I expected it to do. It sucks! It prevents me from having to ladder the house to get at most of my cutters.

Did not buy. Ran across a better option for picking up mesquite pods. A vacuum with a 30 degree tilt. Plus a larger diameter suction tube. Was concerned the 1 7/8 “ would clog.

Absolutely no way to use this with an identical hose to extend length contrary to what Q&A response says. The only way I could see this as being useful would be if you’re original hose failed and you need a replacement. Come on, RIGID… figure it out already! Shop vac had their hose game down decades ago! Why am I struggling to find a hose extension for what is otherwise an excellent tool with a hose that is too short to vacuum drywall dust out of corners of ceiling? The 1-7/8 hose size seems to be something you don’t want to give any legitimacy to, however I bought the contractor grade 2-1/2 hose and it fell apart day 1… I had to duct tape it together!

Perfect replacement for rectangular vacuums. Note there are 2 versions of these at Home Depot, similar price. This is the best one, more flexible and coils.

Parts do not atay togther well. Duct taped them. And clogs in pipe and needs clearing constantly. Disappointed.

The hose replaces a vacuum home that had a cut. It worked as advertised.
Aiyana Pollich (verified owner) –
It was just like the original and fully retractable as apposed to other hoses that are long but you don’t know where to hang them….love these…

A great upgrade over standard hose

Took longer to arrive than originally promised, but came exactly as ordered. The 2 1/2 inch pipes worked great at cleaning the gutters, but the narrower one got plugged very easily. This rig is great for my gutters, but if you have very narrow gutters, or a roof overhang that narrows the access to the gutters, this won’t be a good idea.

Easy to store less hassle

Overall this is a good accessory and I use it often. It’s a good thing it extends as long as it does because I sometimes need to hook it or wrap it around something due to it’s tendency to “slinky”, that is, it will slide off the bench while in use because of it’s flexibility and weight. Somewhat frustrating, but manageable. I bought it because it has an air valve. The ONLY Rigid product that allows suction control which is essential to operate properly.
