Is it just me, or are the new style, non flexible, shop vac hoses just a pain to use ?? Does anyone know of a source of the older style, wire wound hoses that you could almost tie in a knot and still use them ? The new ones make it impossible to bend into small areas when cleaning tools, getting ito tight areas etc. A local vacuum store used to have the old style hoses but they stopped carrying them about a year ago. If I could find them, I would buy ten in a minute for the future !
Just had to rant

The hoses with the wire tend to pull into a short length when the nozzle is blocked, which sometimes flipped light weight vacs over. I don't miss it that much.
