After reading an article in Fine Woodworking Magazine where the author had used this exact product to reduce damage to his vacuum hoses. I decided to give it a try. It works better than I could have hoped. The hoses it covers are from an old Kirby Vac and a Nilfisk vac. There is no significant catching on the back edge of track saw tracks and with a small nylon plate I had made up there is zero catching. I also use this on a dedicated Hegner finger joint machine. I believe the only reason this is not fitted to all industrial hoses is that it would limit the sale of spare parts hoses. All the best.

Bought this a while and gone through most. I do a lot of cables for friends ( it's always nice to call in favors later on ! ) as I guess they like my work. I find the colored sleeving such as this red and also blue are both very popular as it give it that certain slick look. Black use to be the thing however it seems people want that color accent the past couple years. Not much to say, it's good stuff. 1. high quality 2. smooth thread - meaning the threads themselves to make up this sleeving are even and don't make things catch 3. true size - you grab X size you get X size. Not like you buy 3/4 and get poor quality and it ends up being just over 1/2. UG TIP: I use a small butane click torch right after I do a cut. Not to go nuts and melt the end entirely but just a quick heat flash over that end to weld together a few of those sleeving threads from having the end unravel. TIP: If you melt the end entirely what you'll find is that end part will not expand properly as the way it should so you'll find yourself cutting it off and redoing the cut or trying to force your wire through that smaller opening. Forcing it will just lead to frustration. TIP: If you've never worked with this type of stuff before, think of an inch worm especially the longer distance wires you need to sleeve. Fish some wire into the sleeve, then hold that beginning spot...then go to where the wire ends inside the sleeve and pull only the sleeve down. As you do this the wire will work its way further up the sleeving with ease, just like an inch worm moves on a leaf. Might sound weird to explain it but it works like a charm. TIP: At times the wires we need to sleeve are sharp ( wire itself or the wire jacket ) and they catch on the inside of the sleeve, in this case use a bit of electrical tape folded over evenly as doing this will make the wire slide much easier especially if you have a longer length of wire to sleeve. FINAL TIP: Heatshrink tubing, heatshrink tubing, heatshrink tubing. Make sure you have! Get those sleeve ends done up so they don't unravel and to make your job nice and neat. Again I use a butane click torch which works absolutely perfect. This stuff is high quality and I recommend this to absolutely everybody. Helpful, is how I hope you find my review.
