Small Improvement to shop air systems

Post by sansouci »

Recently I noticed that Harbor Freight was carrying two different quick fit air couplers. The older item has 3 retaining balls while the newer (about $1 more) has 4 retaining balls which should be more secure and leak less. One hopes to reduce the compressor cycling to minimize the noise. I also use the brass rather than the steel connectors. That's just me.
