"Today we received the new FOD BOSS, I had it up and running within 10
min. I have attached some pictures of the BOSS in action. After only 5
min of sweeping I took the pictures and included some of the items
picked up. As you can see our flight line is horrible because the
aircraft keep blowing rocks and junk onto the concrete. The airplanes
bring in FOD with the cargo. We are the only ones who clean it up and the double wide really speeds things up. After dumping the Boss today there were about 50 nails, 20 belt clips, 10 washers and a bunch of nuts. There even was a padlock! Thank you for everything."

"Thanks for your follow up email with the current pricing. I usedthe FODBOSS when I was in the F-14 community and it saved millions of dollars in fodded engines. Once we got the FODBOSS, we did not have another fodded engine until we went to the ship. We did not have one at home base after that. So with that, I say thank you!
I appreciate your time and look forward to working with you on this purchase for my current squadron."

"We could not help but notice how the mat picks up even the smallest piece laying on the ground. You have an excellent product and it is definitely helping us win the war on FOD at Dover AFB; thanks again."

"The FOD Boss works great. I received it on the 7th of March I use it approximately 3 times a week. I initially was skeptical but after seeing the amount and size of the things it picks up I am 110% sold on it. It takes me 1 hour and 10 minutes to sweep our taxiway and empty parking spots. Thank you!"

"Truly enjoy using the FOD BOSS. It picked up much more than we had expected, to include screws, nails, safety wire, joint material and sand. It also picked large pieces of concrete which damage the blades of mobile sweepers."

"Just wanted to let you know we received the duplex unit in fine shape and used it on our cargo ramp for the first time this morning. I thought you might want to see the photo of just a few of the items that were picked up on the first pass."

"Thank you for all of the information, the FOD BOSS works great. We did a sweep of the flightline and all the ECP's twice and it picked up tons of stones and some hardware as well. We are going to start implementing it to be used every week now. Thanks for everything."

"Just some FOD Boss information: Our first FOD Boss units in Atlanta recently wore out. It's estimated that the unit acquired between 8,000-8,500 miles of usage picking up an estimated 32,000 lbs. of debris (Potential FOD). Calculations were based on 800 + days of usage, 10 miles per day and 40 lbs. per day of debris collected. We still believe in the FOD Boss and continue to use daily."

"I have the distinct pleasure of being the FOD Manager over at Balad AB in Iraq… we are putting about 50-60 miles a day on our FOD*BOSS sweepers (at 10 miles per hour)... the F-16 unit's tow them all day. So about 1500 to 2000 miles a month and about 9000 to 12000 miles in six months. We have 18 currently in use on base here and I would like to order like 20 of them… Anyway I will try to get as many as they will let me…"

"The first time we used the FOD BOSS we swept a total of seventeen miles and picked up one hundred sixty-four pounds of debris on our asphalt ramp. The next time, we used it right after a FOD walk by about fifty people. It took them right around forty-five minutes total time to get out there, do the FOD walk, and then get back to work. That's just about thirty-seven man-hours. The exact same area was then swept by one guy pulling the FOD BOSS. It took him about one hour. The people picked up around five pounds of FOD. The FOD BOSS picked up forty-four pounds of FOD. That's close to ten times the amount of debris in one-twentieth the man-hours."

"We have been using the FOD BOSS for almost a year now. Four months since I took over this position and I must say that it works extremely well for us. I keep all metal and hard plastic FOD after every area is swept and bag and tag it. It has given me a good history of where we need to concentrate our efforts. Also it impresses our pilots and will be used as support to procure more FOD BOSS sweepers in the future."
