The Lehnhoff Variolock Quickcoupler System was added to the Worsley arsenal in late 2013, which is ideal for our army of attachments. More recently we expanded our range even further, adding Hammers from Montabert and Magnets from Dynaset. Most recently we’ve added Oilquick Quick Couplers to our scope of products, an addition which we are very excited about.
