It’s Dan, back with another Pro Tip Tuesday from Carbon Method!
Integrating Lightning Lock into my shop has changed the way I think about dust collection. Specifically—these Lightning Lock Drop Caps. These cap off dust hoses kind of like a blast gate and they connect directly to our Lightning Lock flex hose fittings.
I've installed flex hose drops strategically around my shop right off of my 6” hard pipe lines. I attached our standard Lightning Lock fittings to the end of those drops and now I can cap them off with these Drop Caps. Then I can quickly connect a dust hose to a mobile tool or for cleanup and it's as simple as removing the Drop Caps.
And because I have these drops in several areas, I was able to shorten my dust hose. Moving an 8-foot hose is substantially easier than moving a 20-foot hose!
Lighting Lock makes dust collection super-easy and lightning-fast.
