Introducing Lightning Lock - the next revolution in quick-connect dust collection fittings!
Now available at: carbonmethod.c...
We've made three major improvements in dust collection fittings that together will revolutionize your dust collection system:
1. Connect anywhere
Lightning Lock dust collection fittings sport a completely genderless quick-connect design. Any fitting connects seamlessly with any other.
2. In a snap
Lightning Lock fittings magnetically connect and disconnect in a snap, to make moving from tool to tool lighting fast.
3. Talk about a revolution
Every single Lightning Lock fitting rotates - all of them! Hoses don't kink or tangle, but just relax into place. We achieve this rotation without any measurable loss in suction or air flow.
The combination of a genderless design, magnetic connection, and captive rotation means that any Lightning Lock fitting will attach to any other of the same size, simply by putting the two near each other! They self align when you connect them, magnets and rotation automatically lining the fittings up to tightly and securely connect. They don’t clog, you never have to clean them, and they just work - really, really well.
Lightning Lock is 100% designed and manufactured in the USA, in our facility in Grand Rapids, MI.
Switch from tool to tool lightning fast, and get your dust collection game on lock, with Lightning Lock!

You know it’s a good feature when Dan is visibly excited about the spinning feature. Looks great!

That’s best advancement on magnetic dust collection fittings to date. And the best part is they’re not from the red brand 😅

Will y'all make 2.5 and 4 inch solid caps? That'd be the only thing keeping me from switching to this system.

We'll be thinking about that one, stay tuned! 😎

Can’t wait to pick some up and put these to use in the shop! Curious though, are there plans to produce any, “tool specific” versions…say for a DW735 planer, etc? 🤔 Very innovative product Dan, looking forward to seeing what else this lineup will have to offer! 👏🏻👏🏻

Good question... additional versions such one for the DW735 are on the list!

How cleanable is the rotating section? I do metal and wood in the same space and steel dust is really good at finding magnets.

@carbonmethodco 2 ай бұрын

Great question - the magnets are isolated from the rotation, so any loose metal shavings are easy to see and remove 👍

I’m guessing SLS printed carbon

For our Lighting Lock fittings, we engineered a proprietary material to meet our internal specifications.

Is there a plan or product to be able to adapt these fittings to existing flex hoses, or is your only option to press fit your existing hose fittings into a lightning lock fitting and then add a lightning lock fitting to your tool? I’m in a small garage shop with just a dust extractor with a 2.5” inlet port, but if I have to add this additional fitting on the end of my hoses, I’m wondering what the benefit of this is compared to just inserting my hoses into my tools. Is there maybe a roadmap to build hoses with lightning lock fittings installed on each end? Love the concept and I see the vision, but it seems like there are some pieces missing in the system to make integration truly seamless.

This is our initial launch of Lightning Lock fittings. Right now, you could use a short piece of hose on the tool with a Lightning Lock fitting attached. Next, attach an additional Lightning Lock fitting to your moveable hose. We have extensive plans moving forward, including: rubber rigid mounts, tool specific solutions, and hard pipe integrations. Let us know if you have any additional questions!

Congratulations, it looks great. How much weight do the connections hold? I ask based on having issues with magnetic attachments not able to hold the weight when the 4” hoses hang high from the floor, or being easy to decouple accidentally.

@carbonmethodco 2 ай бұрын

Thanks! Due to the countless ways that hoses and connections can be arranged (vertically/horizontally/suspended/etc) it is difficult to fully answer this question without knowing your exact setup. Our 4" Max Fitting has twice the holding power as the 4" Standard, and is sometimes recommended when supporting the weight of a flex hose in suspension. Feel free to reach out to our customer service and we'd be happy to help discuss the best fittings for your shop!

@loribeckham7698 2 ай бұрын

Did I miss something? How are these attached to the machine ports, or is that magnetic also? I love the product but need to know that first. Also, is there a "cap" available for the dual port for when you're only using one opening? Interested in your thoughts!

@carbonmethodco 2 ай бұрын

Currently, you could use a small piece of flex hose or a rubber fitting to attach to the tool - there is an example of this at 1:46 in the video. Next, install a Lightning Lock fitting to your lead hose to move in between. We are planning further integrations with rubber mounts, hard mounts, and tool specific solutions that will integrate with these hose fittings. Stay tuned for more 😎

so, additive means 3d printed? No shade here, just trying to understand.

@carbonmethodco 2 ай бұрын

Absolutely! But we don't want to give the wrong impression: these aren’t printed using filament printers. We're using production-quality stereolithography machines, with our own in-house designed resin. We are very excited to see where we can take this technology: we are learning more every day. It's completely changing how we think about product design as a concept: Lightning Lock's unique design simply couldn't be produced through conventional manufacturing!
