I am looking for a ball swivel fitting with 3/8" MNPT & FNPT for my 3/8" NPT setup (all couplers & hose ends are 3/8" NPT). I got a zilla whip hose but it had a inline swivel fitting not a ball swivel which IMHO doesn't do much since the air tool can spin in the coupler.

Something like the pic below

I was going to use that design but was told they restrict flow? I use all Milton V couplers and plugs with no 1/4" NPT to increase flow. If these are not restrictive I will get them. Looking at them I can't see how the wouldn't restrict flow?

So these flow better than a ball swivel?

Appreciate the link man!

Better yes, they're awesome, but next to no flow restriction? Haha no :lol_hitti I have them on all my impacts (different brand but same design) and it's a noticeable power loss. If you're really worried about air flow just do a whip hose.

I got a 1/2" whip today but it has a inline swivel (not a ball swivel). I can't see how this would be beneficial since the air tool swivels in the coupler. My problem is I can not find a whip hose with 3/8" NPT with ball swivel.
