It’s Dan, back with another Pro Tip Tuesday from Carbon Method!
Did you know that Lightning Lock can actually improve the CFM of your dust collector?
Now, this isn’t magic – it’s fluid dynamics. The shorter your flex hose, the better your CFM. Why? Because every bend, ripple, and extra foot of hose adds drag and turbulence, which kills airflow.
Lightning Lock changes that. Its quick-connect design means you can keep a few hoses of different lengths ready to go, and just snap in the perfect one for the job, instead of wrestling with one oversized hose for every tool in the shop.
Plus, every Lightning Lock fitting rotates, preventing kinks and twists in the hose, which means you can run shorter, more direct lines without choking off your airflow.
Remember: If you really want to move some air, Lightning Lock is always there!
