Milton high flow quick coupler issues

[thejudges69]

I bought these high flow couplers direct from Milton, I've had a boat load of issues and Milton will not warranty any of them. I've tried everything under the sun, uncouple them gently, hard, slow, fast, like a good adult flick!! And every once in a while it blows the o-ring out. I take it apart and fix it and it's fine for a while. Anyone else have these issues? We have the same issues with flexzilla that my brother has.

Are Dixon any better? Import? I'm at my wit's end with these junk *** things. I'm wondering if new o-rings will help the situation.

I read your post because I was ready to make a purchase on some high flow couplers. However, after seeing what you listed, No Thanks. I was looking at PREVOST, STEDLIN also but have yet to make a purchase. I am sure someone with more experience will chime in.

Honestly I doubt I'll get any posts, or very few, this part of GJ typically if it isn't hand tools and a big name tool things go by the wayside. If I can find a better source I'll buy them again. But right now. I'm pissed. Literally just had another one blow the o-ring out. 2 of them in an hour. Goodness I hate Milton right now.

Had V connections for years in the shop. Never had an issue. I did switch over to Coilhose 5-1 for the couplers at the shop and later at home. I wouldn't call them perfect but nothings failed there either.

Clearly I'm very aware of what's going on with it. I've fixed several. So how does this video benefit or help?

Congratulations. Mine failed.

Just to show that you’re not the only one.

Thejudges69, Don't you find it interesting that when you have a problem others come up and show you that they knew about it before and you didn't. Happens to me all the time whether its a part on a car or a tool or.........

That's good to know cause I'm starting to think it's me. My brother claimed he never had an issue and then one night in his shop it happened while we was working.

It's always nice to be reminded that something is screwed up. Thank goodness for captain obvious at times.

Asking for feedback then acting like a **** to everyone isn't going to get you far here. Do you even read your own responses?

Yup, this place makes me bitter at times. I truly dunno why I ask, but thanks for coming.

Prevost Push Button safety coupler (green button) is my strong reccommendation. Parker and Dixon are good as well.

Are the prevost ones difficult to disconnect? Seems that button would make it hard to unhook.

Not at all.

another vote for the Prevost. Easy to use and disconnect. well worth the upgrade from the milton.
