small connectors.

I know what I am looking for but dont know if there is anything like it/them... let me describe.

I have a early Festool sander, also a sm Ozito router and a big Makita router and my cordless Ryobi circular saw, the only way Ive been able to connect these to my Ryobi vac is pushing the vac hose onto the dust outlet and taping it on, it works but its awkward.
Is there anything on the market (that will last,) that I could create a bayonet type or twist n clip connectors so changing power tools over was a quick simple twist type action the vac hose comes off that tool and clicks onto the next one.

I saw on a Brit forum this morning these adapters that are part of a system that has smooth wall hose too and is also sold on Amazon. There should be similar if not the same in Australia. They what you are looking for?

having a basic idea but no definite idea makes decision making interesting, but you are on the right track, thanks Pete

I use these on my sanders
Flexible Couplings - Bunnings Australia

They're too big for the small ports as found on power tools like routers and biscuit cutters.
For these I rummage amongst the PVC plumbing fittings and find teh closes thing and the adapt to suit the tool/vac on a lathe.

Hi,
Maybe you need to have a play with some hole saws and off cuts.

Car radiator hoses can work for some fitments.

dear god Ive gotta stop shopping

After QCs comments and hint I went trawling Amazon and found these
Cen-Tec Systems 95237 Quick Click Expanded Multi-Brand Power Tool Adapter Set for Dust Collection, Black

will let you know what I think when they arrive. Say this for Amazon they are a lot easier to deal with than banggood or fleabay
