Over the years I’ve collected a fair amount of pneumatic tools and been constantly frustrated by the variety of fittings.

My latest headache was a new power washer with M22 fittings that wouldn’t work with my other fittings for quick release. I wanted to just pop the hose off my pressure washer and drain it, no un-screwing.

I finally got all my stuff laid out and converted to automotive QR fittings.
Got all the nailers and air wrenches oiled and new tight connections.

I know you guys will hammer me for this but between the commercial vs automotive vs M22 vs male/female and various sized fittiings it was really confusing.

Finally sorted and understand all the different fittings. Wish my dad had shown me this stuff years ago.

No more leaky air fittings!

As difficult as air fittings can be, plumbing is even worse!

Yeah. That added to it. Plumbing fittings to garden hose was yet another part of the learning curve.

I finally understand - a little - about all the thread differences.

Very confusing stuff.
