solid product:

don't waste your time on the plastic gates, these Jet blast gates are solid...my only complaint is the short length of the connector...a trifle difficult to get a solid connection to the hose.

LESS IS MORE:

LIKE ANY "OLD-SCHOOL," TESTOSTERONE-DRIVEN, ALPHA-MALE WHO IDENTIFIES WITH CHARACTERS LIKE "TIM, 'THE TOOL-MAN,' TAYLOR (TOOL-TIME), I JUST HAD TO HAVE THESE "RUGGED" BLAST-GATES IN MY DUST-COLLECTION SYSTEM.... AND I DO.
HOWEVER, I AM ALSO AN "OLD-SCHOOL TIGHTWAD" AND COULD NOT AFFORD TO OUTFIT MY ENTIRE SYSTEM WITH THESE "HEAVY DUTY' BLAST GATES.
SO.... I WAS "FORCED" TO ALSO PURCHASE THE "PLASTIC" BLAST-GATES TO SAVE MONEYJet JW1007 4-Inch Blastgate AS THESE PLASTIC GATES ARE NEARLY 1/3 THE... more info

Aluminum Blastgates:

The aluminum blastgates are well wirth the cost. My exhaut system works so much better since I took the plastic gates out. When you open and close the plastic gates saw dust and chips get in the slides,this blocks the slides from closing. This causes a leak because it does not close all the way. The aluminum one's are open at the end of the slide so they can clean themselves and close fully.

So far, so good:

I replaced all my plastic blast gates with these, and now my dust collection system works beautifully. The slides on the plastic gates get obstructed with wood chips and debris. When they can't close all the way, the entire system is compromised. Paying more for these gates is definitely worth it.
