This may be a dumb question, but how do you keep your vacuum nozzles from coming loose? Is there a type of nozzle that is less likely to unscrew during customer use? I check them daily, it seems like I shouldn't have to.

Take off that stupid cuff and shove the nozzle right in to the hose.

We use a small stainless steel panhead screw through the cuff and hose. We tried glues but they typically didn't hold for very long. We didn't try gorilla glue though.

Geez, Eric! So much hostility for an SS operator! Wait till your autos are running; you'll chew broken glass for fun!:)

I use a 2" piece of gray 3M double-sided tape. A little alcohol or mineral spirits works for lubricant, then when that dries it won't come off.
