Where firefighters come to talk training

core v/s streamline

Hi guys, this is my first post in this forums, i am from Chile, and I apologize because my English is very basic, ok?...

Time a go, searching for information about the differences between the connectors Core of Holmatro and Streamline of Lukas, I read in this web that a weakness is the female connector Lukas "is like a spoon and can get into a lot of sand"... but... I did a test run and connection, and the result that works perfectly.

Core users can say the same?

Stay safe

I watched a demonstration of Hurst, Homaltro and TNT equipment. All of the vendors said that the female connection could collect junk, but just knocking it against something would clear it enough that it would lock. THe worst thing to get in it was snow. It would pack into the connection and keep the male end from locking, and because it was soaked with oil and packed tight against the wall, it was very hard to clear out.

Hope that this helps,
Larry

We run Holmatro with Core Hoses. To say we love it would be a gross understatement. All our personnel comment on how much nicer it is the use, coil and work. The single hose elimination of the "dump" valve makes the tool set up much more user friendly.
