[Shop-talk] air hose fittings

[Jeff Scarbrough]

I bought a bunch of Milton brand couplers, and I'm very happy to change all
of my cheap crap for them.  I got started when these were on sale for about
$7 each:

https://www.acmetools.com/milton-99705-1-4in-fnpt-m-style-safety-coupler-s-99705/030937312150.html

They aren't that cheap now but you can find them for $10 or $11.  They are
a safety coupler.  Push in to connect; one press of the red button loosens
it and bleeds the pressure, and the second press releases the coupling.  At
the time, I was getting paid to be the safety officer, so I was trained to
think about the worst that could happen.

The Milton web site often runs sales, or you can watch other places for
deals.
