Yes some of the failures, like the hose to canvas connection can easily be fixed with a "zip-tie", but shouldn't it have been right from Toro in the first place?The second time I used my attachment the plactic lock on the drawstring broke, no simple fix for this one. With nothing to hold the canvas to the trash can the thing is useless.Simply, there are too may weak points on the attchment to make it worth while.I have owned this item for two weeks and used it twice. Both time involved quite a bit of time "fixing" or re-attaching the canvas to trash can or hose to canvas. One of the few items I will return as it is just to much work for what it is worth. To be clear, I did attach this item to the Toro 51599 Ultra blower so there was not an issue of mixing components from different manufactures.The bag that attached to the blower/vac is much more solid (although you need to empty it often)
