2 Gallon Vacuum w/ Quick Connector

While waiting for the Tough System vacuum to be released, if it ever will be, I modified a DCV580H that I had on hand to accept the universal quick connector.  Cut off the end of hose because it’s glued to the attachment and screw on a DWV9000 ($19.75). Then use a DWV9170 ($11.99) to adapt the existing wands with a male quick connector.

I use it for job sites without power for my chop saw and to clean stud bay corners.  Dewalt has a decent assortment of vacuum attachment but very little guidance on what works with what. 
 

I was about to ask “Isn’t the Tough System Vac already out?” then I realized it’s Tstak not Tough System.

Hi Sarbatche, I’m curious.

What do you gain by adding a quick connect nozzle (inasmuch as the 550 &551 have simple slip on connectors)?

(BTW, I found that a local vac shop has off-brand attachments that fit my original DCV581).

Semper Fi

Attachment to many of the cordless tools use quick connectors now. The cordless sander, flexvolt miter saw, tracksaw… tools used inside that a bag would not collect dust well enough. So the portable vac is useful and a more secure connection is desirable. 

Wasn’t aware of that. Would the Dewalt DWV9000 or the DWV9130 vacuum adapters work as well? (I honestly don’t know).
