Dust hose clips
I find, particularly when using a sander, that the power lead ends up wrapped around and around the dust hose. How do users get around this? I have done some searching without luck for a clip to put on the hose which has a piggy back clip to take the power lead.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Segments of short lengths of PVC pipe with a strip cut along the length so that it will clip over the hose and power lead.

BobL has a great idea. What I have done is to cable tie a heavy duty plug it cord to my hose (the heavy duty works on tools that ship with the light duty cord). I've left a bit of play at the tool end - enough to get the cable on to each tool (some leave a small loop of spare cable).
That plug it cord is then used for every tool, and the unused ones just stay in the systainer.

The 3D printing pattern for a range of clips are listed on thingiverse

I used to use all PVC segments as describe but now I use a combination of segments and ocky straps.
Close to the power tool I use a couple of PVC clips but further away I loop the cable and hose together using ockies and hook the other ends of the ockie onto a length of galv rod suspended above above my work area or bench so that those ocky hooks can slide along the rod. This keeps the hose and cable off the floor where it can be trod on and also prevents it getting tangle up in the work. BTW I'm not using a vac but a 50 mm hose from my DC. It's all put away ATM but next time I use it I will take a picture.

I have a power cord hanging down from the ceiling so no tangles with the DC hose
