“One of the best products in years. I added them to my DeWalt 735 planer, Rigid 6” jointer, sawstop jobsite and a grizzly 555 band saw. Worth every penny!!! What a difference then using gaff tape lol!! Great job woodcraft!!!”

“So I read the reviews and saw that you had to get the couplers to use these and I'm glad I did. They do stick out further from my machinery, but, so far, it's no big deal to me. I have arthritic hands and it is sometimes difficult for me to constantly swap out hoses, so I really like these fittings. Everything I use is mobile and, yes, the hoses will come off if you pull on them, but mine did anyway, so that's not an issue for me-I lock the casters on my stuff and it's okay. All in all, I like them and they're cheaper than some other systems I've looked at. I give a 4/5 because I agree that the magnets could be stronger and it would be nice to not have to buy the couplers, but it's not that big a deal to me. Over all, I like them a lot.”

“Good product, except the magnets are too weak. If you have heavy duty flex hose, the magnets are not strong enough to maintain the connection. If the magnets were stronger, they would be a 5 star.”

“Just took delivery of 6 fittings in all, then find out that Woodcraft designed these so you have to spend more to use them. It would have been simple to cut the injection mold to 4.05” INTERNAL diameter. Not up to their usual standards. Perhaps next they’ll sell hand planes without blades? Yes, I am ticked off.”

Thanks for the feedback. These items were designed for various applications. We do have a version of the machine coupling that has an integrated flex cuff. https://www.woodcraft.com/products/magfitt-4-quick-connector-machine-coupling We have contacted you with an offer to resolve this issue.

“Great idea, but the magnets are VERY week. The coupling will separate if there is any lateral pressure on the connection.”

“Great product! For those who complained about needing a coupler to attach it to their machines, here is a simple cheap solution, I just cut a short length of 4" flex dust hose and used 2 hose clamps to butt the machine dust outlet against the magnetic machine coupling.”

“I had ordered 1 hose coupling and 4 machine couplings. Was disappointed to discover that the machine coupling won't fit any machine as is, you need to purchase separately Flexible Cuff Coupler with Steel Clamps for each machine. No mention of this Woodcraft online, catalog, nor flyer. Looks like they will work well once I get the require extra couplers.”

“Why, oh why would you not make these so that they slip on a standard 4" or 2.5" dust port on tools? The need to use a coupler only makes the fitting stick out even further from the machine. While I generally like Woodcraft, the products, and the people who work there I'm going somewhere else for dust collection ports ...”
