[Shop-talk] air hose fittings

[eric at megageek.com]

John,

Here is what I use...

They are great (and this link is to a great company.)

All you do is press the button twice.  The first press releases the air 
pressure on the connection.  The second releases the tool, with no effort.

I've been using them for years now.  NOTE, they will start to leak a 
little after a while.  Just a few drops of lube, and work a tool in and 
out a few times it will stop leaking.

SIDE NOTE- if you do order from this site, in the notes ask Emmet to paint 
a picture on your box.  You can ask for anything.  The paintings are 
adorable!  I've framed everyone I have gotten so far.  Here are some of 
them...

I'm tired of using H.F. junk air hose fittings...  they all leak and are a 
pain to couple and uncouple. You have to pull the collar back and push in 
the male connector then reverse it to remove
 
I want the push in (without the collar) easy to release 3/8" flow … don't 
care about the thread size I can adapt.  My old hands and grip are as weak
as my bank balance.,
 
What is affordable and usable..   I've got about 10 air tools (male) and 
three hoses (female) and the money will add up quickly 
 
thanks
