Some while ago, the Henry I keep in the garage, suffered motor issues. Investigating, I found it not worth fixing, so I scrapped it, but kept the hose and attachments. In the meantime, I bought another make of vac, with a too short hose, so I cut the end fitting off the Henry one, at the vac end, to extend it, last week, putting the cut off part in the bin.
This week, Avril brought home from work, a Henry which was surplus, and about to be binned, but lacking it's hose. She was planning to bring the hose which belonged to it, today. No problem, I thought, thinking to save her bringing the hose - my workshop bin hadn't been emptied for a couple of weeks.
I went through the bin, found the part, spent an hour refitting it to the Henry hose, then attempted to connect it to the latest Henry, only to discover they had changed the design. The old Henry had a female socket on the vac, with an internal thread, the newer one uses a male with an external thread.
