Coupler and Air Fitting

Brass or Steel? Which one doesn't leak? Can you recommend me some? Thank you.

Does the ones from Harbor Freight or Home Depot (Husky) leaks?

I have brass and steel or what ever they are. As log as the male and female are the same class they won't leak, regardless of material used.

I gave up on the HF couplers after having several of them split and leak. I bought Milton High Flows for everything, and have yet to have an issue since.

Boom.

Buy any quality one and you'll be fine.

The hf male ends seem to be soft steel. They wear and leak after a few uses.

Buy miltons. The way to go. Any of the different series will do for standard use. I use milton M styles.

all depends on the end use..

changing tools 20-30 times a day in a working shop?
or twice a month in the garage?

even so, we typically get 6 -8 months of use from the couplers we picked up at HD we use in our working shop.

18-24 months on a good quality steel coupler.

for my garage, i buy them from HD, the HF couplers IMHO are ****

Another vote for Miltons.
