[Shop-talk] air hose fittings

[DAVID MASSEY]

There are garden hose couplers with an auto-cut-off feature but it is fairly rare and far from universal.
One advantage to these is they twist so you can aim the spray nozzle without twisting the hose and possibly unscrewing the connection.

 Years ago I was at some garden shop and I saw some quicj release hose 
fittings.  I thought cool, just like my air hose fittings.  I bought 
some, put them on the garden hose and various sprinklers and such. 
First day I had them, I figured they were just like my air hose 
fittings.  I went to uncouple a sprayer from the main hose, which still 
had full pressure on it.

A mistake you only make once.
