“My magnets connect stay connected. I have one on a floor sweep and another on the end of a 4" hose I use for collecting the fine dust while sanding on my lathe. I see some of the reviews bashing that they fall off but I have not had that experience-could be the way I have my connections oriented without any real weight load on the magnets. I'm very happy with them and wish I'd bought them years ago.”

“Amazingly weak magnets. Hook them up and they just pop right off. Work great when clamped, but then the product would be Clampfit and not Magfitt. Don’t bother unless magnets plus clamps work for you. I will return all of it if I can find a product with stronger magnets. Otherwise, I have plenty of spring hand clamps. Pity. This is the first dud produced from Woodcraft in 12 years of being a regular customer. Love the store. Am disappointed”

“In summary, a great idea poorly executed. In detail, the magnets are not quite strong enough. Second, these should have been designed to slide over the machine side port or inside the collection hose depending on which mag port coupler being installed rather than requiring the additional purchase of the hose connector. Lastly, the hose clamp connector two hose clamps require a metric nut driver rather than the standard 1/4” nut driver that is used on every hose clamp in my shop. A small inconvenience yes, but it’s the little things that can make a good product a great one. Woodcraft didn’t make a great one here, but it is usefully expensive.”

“Magnets are weak if hose is stretched a little or at an angle it will pop off machine. I fixed this by buying stronger magnets off Amazon and placed on top of the magnets already on coupler, now they stay on great. So for an extra $10 you can get a perfect product I know we should not have to buy them to make there product work but that’s the case with these. An easy fix for WoodCraft don’t know why they don’t fix the problem.”

“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.”
