I'm trying to get the dirt and dog hair out from under the refrigerator.  The crevice tool I have only gets about %60 of it.  Any ideas on something that will reach back between the coils for that dog hair from 2000?  It will need to be narrow because the spacing between the coils isn't a lot.  I tried a hack with a somewhat flattened paper towel tube but it was too big.  I have a Dyson DC07.

I created my own crevice tool for my Fein shop vac a few years back. I got a small diameter piece of pvc tubing (made for a water line) from my hardware store and a rubber connector also used in plumbing-the kind designed to fit two different diameter pipes. Trace, measure (or bring in) the outside diameter of your vaccum hose to find the size you need. I found mine fits well enough I don’t need to use hose clamps to keep it together. Good luck!

I have the ”Vaccuflex” from Lee Valley Tools.  My wife makes mittens out of wool sweaters, and during the felting process our clothes dryer was constantly plugged with lint.  The Vaccuflex allowed me to really get down into the dryer lint trap and get things cleaned out!  Since then, I have used for many other things, including getting under places like the refrigerator.  Highly recommended.
