Who makes an air fitting that lasts? I am talking about just shop fittings for air tools. I used devilbiss hi-flo's for my paint lines, but my normal air lines I have had it with the leaky pieces of garbage from HF that just wear out..

what are others using? I want something that lasts!!!
 
I'm using the Prevost hi flows in everything now. They are good quality and last.

Coupler: Prevost ERC 071201

Plugs : Prevost ERP 076251 (male) Prevost ERP 076201 (female)

X3 on steel only. ZSI-Foster made in USA. They make brass, steel/brass and steel. I use steel only
 
Milton, Foster, Aeroquip for air Weatherhead for compression, Parker for hyd. Place I worked at was buying junk the last couple of years, kinda like a box of chocolates...never knew what we were gonna get.

I've found that the majority of the leaking has to do with the Male "end" of the connector being usually too short.
Yeah,I know,Focus Gentlemen Focus.... Mines not very big around but the sob Sure is short.
Even the ones in the same package with the coupler.
I get a connection hissing,which drives me insane, and grab a blow gun to test with and swap out males till it quits. Which usually works.
For whatever it's worth..
 
steel fittings only. milton if you can but i have found the home depot ones to last a fairly long time. i use mine all day long and get about 2 years out of them and they are only a couple bucks. miltons will last longer. hf the steel is soft and they wear out super quick. bought a bunch off amazon that was a brand name and they were crap also like the hf.
 
You all talking high flows? Or standard? I use high flow for everything in the shop. I get into mechanical as well and need my impacts, impact ratchets, etc to have all the beans. I’m mostly cordless but sometimes you need air.
 
we run prevost and milton here. No issues other than never being able to find an extra one when needed
