[solved] Can anyone tell me what this part is from?

[crazybrit]

It's been in my shop for years. I know I had it when I moved in 2015. in 2019 I put it into a box and marked the box WTF

Now one could say that if I've not needed it in 6 years, then it's safe to throw out.

But it's just bugging me that I don't know what it is. It looks like some kind of bolt on air duct. The end cap comes off.

It came with something I bought but I have no clue what it is.

snaps onto something for a dust collector to hook to a shop vac

Pretty sure the 3000 was a blow torch

Looks like a defroster nozzle that would be under the dash.

I also think it is a vacuum attachment. It needs the "replaceable" brush part. Maybe for mini blinds?

Looks like a portable planer dust hood. DeWalt 734 perhaps? Part 5140006-97

If you look at the second pic, there are two locking tabs. It's designed to drop in at the corner part into some rectangular opening, then pivot up and snap closed.

For the life of me I can't figure out what. It's not off any car I've owned and I don't buy car parts.

yeah, those clips are why I thought replaceable brush. Hard to see details from the picture on my laptop...

You sir are a steely eyed missile man.

I do happen to have a DW734.

Thank you so very much!!

Well now I'm glad I didn't throw it out Strange that they didn't stamp the part# anywhere on it. Nothing but the "clock" markings for the mold and an ABS symbol.

My pleasure. I have the earlier 733 model. I thought your picture looked like a plastic version of the 733's steel hood with a few refinements. A quick google image search and there it was.
