Will the XtraHand work with my vacuum?

The Genuine XtraHand® is a hands-free dust extraction tool for power tools, designed to capture dust at source while drilling, cutting and grinding. It is compatible with most standard 32mm–35mm wet & dry vacuum cleaners and dust extractor hoses using our supplied Professional Flexible Tapered Hose Adapter.

Unlike many dust extraction accessories, the XtraHand's performance depends on both vacuum suction and airflow. That's why we always recommend connecting the largest possible end of the tapered adapter to the XtraHand whenever possible and trimming the adapter to suit the hose, as shown in our adapter video. This allows the maximum volume of air to pass through the tool, improving suction, increasing dust capture at source, and delivering the best possible extraction performance.

Different vacuum manufacturers use different hose sizes, so the supplied tapered adapter can easily be trimmed to suit your vacuum cleaner. For example, if you use a Henry Numatic vacuum, you will need to remove the first small section of the adapter so it fits securely inside the Henry hose. As the Festool Midi range connects using that smaller section, we recommend keeping a separate adapter if you regularly switch between different vacuum brands.

If you're unsure whether your vacuum cleaner is compatible, or would like to see how to achieve the best performance, our Tips & Tricks Videos demonstrate the XtraHand with a wide range of popular vacuum cleaners and power tools. (Click Here)

Do I Need Additional Hose Adapters?

If you use more than one vacuum cleaner or dust extractor, we highly recommend having a separate adapter fitted to each machine. This allows you to move the XtraHand quickly between vacuums without constantly changing adapters, while ensuring every connection provides the best possible airflow and extraction performance.

The Professional Flexible Tapered Hose Adapter is also ideal for connecting many other power tools directly to your vacuum cleaner or dust extractor, making it a useful addition to any workshop, garage or toolbox.

The Genuine XtraHand® – Hands-Free Dust Extraction for Drilling, Cutting & Grinding

The Genuine XtraHand® by DrillBuddy UK Ltd is an unrivalled hands-free dust extraction tool designed to remove dust and debris directly at source while drilling, cutting and grinding.

Whether you're a professional tradesperson, contractor, woodworker, builder, electrician, plumber, decorator or DIY enthusiast, the XtraHand allows you to keep both hands on your power tool for greater control, improved accuracy and a cleaner, safer working environment.

Always Choose the Genuine XtraHand®

Always choose the Genuine XtraHand®, identified by the embossed XtraHand logo.

Only genuine products designed and manufactured by DrillBuddy UK Ltd are tested to meet our standards for performance, durability and reliability.

One Tool. Multiple Applications.

Unlike many extraction tools that are designed for only one purpose, the Genuine XtraHand works with an exceptionally wide range of drilling, cutting and grinding applications, including:

  • Masonry Drill Bits
  • Tile Drill Bits
  • Bullet Drill Bits
  • High Speed Steel (HSS) Drill Bits
  • Flat Wood (Spade) Bits
  • Auger Bits
  • Hole Saws up to 64mm
  • Oscillating Multi-Tools
  • 5" Angle Grinders

In fact, it's the only hands-free dust extraction tool designed to work across all of these applications.

Designed for Maximum Dust Extraction

The XtraHand is manufactured in the UK from durable ABS plastic containing approximately 15% recycled material.

Its extra-wide extraction port measures almost 70mm, allowing dust and debris from drill bits, hole saws and cutting tools to be captured efficiently.

The internal extraction area exceeds 2cm², allowing even larger debris from timber, MDF, plywood, composite boards and similar materials to be removed quickly and effectively.

Hands-Free by Design

The base of the Genuine XtraHand uses a soft, flexible TPE sealing skirt, allowing the tool to securely attach itself to many surfaces using the vacuum suction.

Once attached, both hands remain on the power tool where they belong, improving:

  • Control
  • Accuracy
  • Visibility
  • Safety

The level of suction achieved will always depend on the vacuum or dust extractor being used.

Our Professional Flexible Hose Adapter

Every Genuine XtraHand includes our own Professional Flexible Hose Adapter.

Unlike many standard hose adapters currently available, ours was designed by a tradesperson who actually use extraction equipment every day nd understood the needs of an adapter.

Flexible TPE Construction

Many universal hose adapters are manufactured from rigid ABS plastic.

Rigid adapters can be difficult to fit, awkward to trim and often require force to connect to extraction ports.

Our Professional Hose Adapter is manufactured from flexible TPE rubber, allowing it to expand and compress as it fits.

This provides:

  • A more secure friction fit
  • Easier installation
  • Better compatibility with a wider range of vacuum hoses and power tool extraction ports
  • Simple trimming using a standard utility knife

Unique Tapered Leading Edges

The Genuine XtraHand Professional Hose Adapter also features tapered leading edges on every internal and external stepped section.

These tapered edges allow the adapter to guide itself smoothly into slightly undersized or oversized hose connections, reducing resistance and making installation quick, simple and frustration free.

It is a small design feature that makes a significant difference in everyday use.

Designed to Fit More Tools

The Professional Flexible Hose Adapter has been developed to work with a wide range of:

  • Vacuum cleaners
  • Dust extractors
  • Cordless power tools
  • Routers
  • Some sanders
  • Mitre saws
  • Table saws
  • Some Circular saws
  • Many other workshop machines

Its flexible construction allows it to fit many connections that normally require expensive brand-specific adapters.

Bloody marvellous invention, saves loads of time cleaning up brick dust mess. It also save me from pressing unwilling "helpers" into service holding the vacuum under the hole whilst I drill it.

Thanks Ian! 😁👍

What a fantastic review! 😂 Really pleased to hear the XtraHand is saving you time cleaning up brick dust, and even better, saving your unwilling helpers from having to hold the vacuum!

That's exactly why I invented it in the first place — to make life easier and give us both hands back to get on with the job.

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave such a brilliant 5-star review. It's genuinely appreciated!

Saw the advert decided I didn’t want some knock-off version which would end up in bin. Purchased the XtraHand and it’s done exactly what it says on the tin, I even used when doing some block sanding paint-prep and it did a great job there too. One of those things you try and do with with a vacuum but it’s always awkward. This makes it so much better. Great design great product 🙏👍👍

Thanks Matt! 😁👍
Really appreciate you taking the time to leave such a great review. It's brilliant to hear the XtraHand has done exactly what you expected, and I love that you've already found another use for it with block sanding and paint prep!
Leaving both hands free while still capturing the dust is exactly why I originally designed the XtraHand, so it's great to hear it's making those jobs easier for you.
Thanks again for choosing the Genuine XtraHand and for the fantastic feedback — it's very much appreciated.

Brilliant device, always struggled with the clear up, often missing bits. This works a treat, using with Wessex wet and dry 18L.

Excellent bit of kit. I was a little sceptical that it would hold but it does, even with the vacuum hose at full stretch

Thanks Roy, really pleased to hear you're happy with the XtraHand. It's amazing how much pull it can take once the vacuum gets hold of the surface! Really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review.

Invaluable piece of kit for any diyer or trade professional. Excellent design, so simple yet perfect. If you drill holes and don’t want to clear up the dust afterwards get one of these. Fits perfectly onto my Henry Hoover and sticks to the wall while you drill catching all the mess.

Thanks Paul, really appreciate the fantastic review. Great to hear the XtraHand is working so well with your Henry, and I'm really pleased you're happy with it. Thanks for taking the time to share your experience.
