Re: No Pneumatics?

1732 has been using pneumatics for at least the past 4 seasons. We found out this season that a lot of our leaks were coming from off-square cuts on the ends of tubes. This caused them, when plugged into a fitting, to not form a perfect seal. We solved that problem this year with a pneumatic tubing cutter that makes it difficult to make a bad cut.
