Adapter to use A Domino with a Fein Turbo II Vac?

Fein makes a step adapter that works pretty well with FT kit
 
You can plug a Festool hose (you won't need antistatic) right into a Fein vac. From personal experience I felt the Fein adaptor was awkward to use. 
 
Before I had my Festool Vac, I used a Fein all the time.  I bought several of the adapters and cut them down to size.  On some tools (i.e., ATF), I attached the adapter and then ran some electrical tape around to ensure they stayed attached.  I never had a bit of problem with the hose or adpater coming loose during use.  The adpaters were like $2.99 fro Woodcraft, so pretty cheap fix.
 
I had my Fein vac before I got into Festool.  I now have several sanders, a TS75, Domino, etc., and they all work fine with the adapter Fein adapter.  It is semi-soft rubber, rather than hard plastic, and can be shortened to fit the tools.  I bought about 3 of them, but seem to use the same one all the time.

I imagine this is the adaptor others are talking about.  I used it to adapt my Domino to a Ridgid vac before getting a CT and it worked quite well.  Considering it's a Fein product, I'd be shocked if the larger end doesn't fit their hoses.   [smile]

I found this adapter one early morning (maybe 2 AM) browsing Amazon for new items to stock.  Honestly, one of my proudest business moments.  That thing is a JEWEL. 

Please note, this is an embarrassing story.
