    Ran my shop on Milton I/M for years. Now, my personal garage has Merlin I/M. Never had a problem. Great review!

      Yeah they seem like quality couplers and fittings, Thanks!

    Great testing as always, I run the legacy industrial fittings and a 3/8 hose does all I could ask of it!

      Thanks! I to have been using 3/8 for years with the industrial fittings with out issue. I will say thought having safety couplers is nice.

    Crazy there's so many different types.
    For those looking for a better quality standard coupling, Foster is made in USA. I bought a set of 14 couplers for only a couple dollars more than the Chinese junk. Been very impressed with them so far. Not sure if they make a safety version or not.

      Yeah it's unreal, seems like everyone had their own idea on air fitting designs.
      Thanks for the info on Foster, It took some digging but looks like they do have a safety coupler USV310.

    Interesting video, not seen any of those fittings for air system. We use either PCL or Schrader fittings, neither of them are safety locked, although there may be other types used in other industries in the UK.

      Interesting I have never seen PCL or Schrader air line fittings. It's crazy the amount of different types you can buy. I know in Japan they use Nitto.

    Everything at my place of work is Lincoln. Been having a shitty time trying to find one for my own personal air sprayer for cleaning up my work area and getting tge dust off of me at the end of the day.

    Unless you have an older Merlin safety coupler mine will take the HF male.

    That’s odd, I’m running HF with both Merlin and Milton safety couplers

      I bought the Merlin safety coupler unsure if the high flow (V style) would fit and also now can confirm it does accept the high flow connectors.

    We need some independent tests on the safety coupler made by American manufacturer Stedlin.

      I will check them out, never heard of them.

    The Milton coupler you have linked says made in USA on the listing

    • @Tools-Tested
      @Tools-Tested  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      The packaging it came in doesn't have were it was manufactured on it. I think it's an error on amazon, when you look up the coupler at other retailers they all say china.

    Why did u leave out Oetiker swing couplings?

    • @Tools-Tested

      @@Tools-Tested look into Oetiker air couplings. I think you will be very impressed. Swiss invention, unbelievable quality and very reliable, never seen one not leak! Used by Caterpillar, Boeing, Ford. Very high Flow, almost no restrictions, , look into them and you'll be impressed!

    I'm not sure the test is completely accurate. It would be nice to see the results on the high flows if they were also installed on the compressor. I would think that the way you have it hooked up creates a bottleneck straight out of the tank without that being switched over.
    I have 1/2" or 3/8", I can't remember which one, out of my compressor and into my sand blasting cabinet as well as the 1/4" through a second valve. I run the 1/4" at a lower pressure so I don't ruin my power tools, and I keep the blast cabinet at 80 to 110 depending on what type of media I'm using and how much I need to clean off of any given piece.
    If you get a chance to switch that out, I would really find that helpful, even if you just put the results in this comment section instead of a whole new video.
