Pneumatic drop line tool

[maplemas]

I was looking through the Lapierre catalog and came across the Pneumatic drop line tool on page 18 . Does anyone have any experience with one ? I’ve search the trader and YouTube and can’t find any information about it.

I picked one up this past weekend. These things are amazing, I can do over 200 drops per hour with it !

What does it need for a compressor in pressure and CFM, I see it says 3 hp, but CFM and pressure helps me more, thinking maybe a 2HP at a 100-125 per hr might do it?

I’m running mine with a pancake compressor set around 100psi . The compressor kicks on about every 10 minutes. The catalog must be a miss print , my guess it should say 3 gallon..

That sounds more like it. If a 2, 3 or even 4 gal pancake compressor only kicks on about every 10 minutes the air needed is quite low. I normally use my 4 gal Porter Cable pancake compressor for most things, but I also have a twin tank light 4 gal. industrial gas powered compressor that has a small Honda engine. Too loud and too much gas to want to use it for something like that. It generally only gets used to run my pneumatic pruner in my rows of blueberries.

How much did it cost, in my 2020 catalog it is $411.56 but in the 2020 catalog online it is $535.05. Is one Canadian and the other US?

The catalog price of 411$ is what I paid
