IF IT IS A THE END OF THE LINK, SUCTION IS LACKING.IT IS IMPORTANT TO HAVE THE BACK EDGE AND SIDE EDGES SECURELY "SEALED" TO THE FLOOR TO INSURE MAXIMUM SUCTION. I NOW HAVE MORE ROOM FOR A "NEW TOOL" WHERE MY DUST-PAN USED TO BE.YOU WILL NEED TO REMEMBER TO INSTALL IT "CLOSER" TO YOUR DUST-COLLECTOR FOR MORE SUCTION. THIS IS SOMETHING YOU WILL HAVE TO ENGINEER YOURSELF (THUS, ONLY 4 STARS). I LIKE THE CONVENIENCE OF THIS PRODUCT, IN THAT IT ENABLES ME TO SWEEP AND CLEAN SHOP WITHOUT HAVING TO LOCATE A DUST-PAN, MANIPULATE A DUST-PAN, FIND A TRASH CAN TO DUMP THE DUST-PAN INTO, AND THEN FIND A PLACE TO STORE THE DUST-PAN.THIS PRODUCT IS INSTALLED AT THE BASE OF MY WORK BENCH AND ALSO BESIDE MY SAND-BLAST CABINET. IT IS OUT OF THE WAY AND DOESN'T ROB ME OF STORAGE SPACE.
I use a broom and dustpan, then every few days I open the garage door and blow out all the dust in the shop with a leaf blower. Bought this thinking I would use it a lot, but that hasn't been the case. It works fine, but the hassle of getting it out and hooking it up each time for floor cleanup means I use it very little.
This product does exactly what you would lthink I built it into my system in my work shop and it works like a charm.
WORKS FINE IF YOUR COLLECTOR IS STRONG ENOUGH TO PICK UP THE STUFF FROM THE FLOOR.
I purchased mine for 6.74 from Rockler and it is less than 8 at WoodCraft, so the Amazon price is way high for this item. This works fine as a floor sweep if you secure it to the floor. As a hand held wide-mouth dust collector, it leaves a lot to be desired (and a lot of dust).
