When I connect my shop vac to the dust port on my hand power tools like my plunge router or ros, the added weight of the hose makes the tool more difficult to use. Does anyone know of a hook that can either fit in a dog hole or clamp to the edge of a bench to told the hose up and take the weight off of the tool?

Thanks everyone! I have the Rockler universal kit like the hose pictured in BigMuddyRiver's post. The hose is high quality but is really heavy. I was inspired by all of these solutions so came up with something that I think will work well. I took a small piece of 1/2" pvc and sanded one end down so that the OD was a snug fit in the 3/4" dog hole. I was afraid that running straight 1/2" pvc would be too flimsy with the weight of the hose hanging on it so I used a 3/4" x 1/2" reducer to step the pvc up to 3/4" right at the top of my bench and attached a 3' piece of 3/4" pvc to that. I drilled a 3/8" hole through the pvc at the upper end and ran a 3/8" hook bolt through the pvc. I ran my hose and cord through a 3" 1 gauge steel ring and then put the ring on the hook. Right now I'm working out of my cramped garage and sometimes move my bench outside to work so I needed something portable. Once I get a proper shop setup I may do something like the boom arm in the sketch.
