Good stuff. If you test one again or you are doing a service. I recommend putting the flat/nut side of the fitting in the vise to get a good bite and lock the lower section in. Then install a male fitting into the chuck so you can now use pressure pliers to grab and twist the upper section of the coupler. By installing the male end in, it should help to minimize the deforming. But, really these are cheap enough to have a bunch of back ups. Great video.
A fitting in the coupler is a great ideal! Really both couplers are 'disposable' @ $4 for plastic and $5 for the metal. I just got tired of servicing or replacing the metal couplers. Hopefully ill never need to mess with the plastic.
One thing with these chucks on an arb compressor is that they get really hot, I have had the 'high temp' arb air hose melt on me few times. I wonder how that type of plastic can handle that heat.
@@jdesigns7239 I have the single and the twin, the twin is much cooler because there is a braided line before it gets to the chuck. The single piston the chuck is connected directly and gets really hot. On my single piston I installed a 12v pc fan on it to cool the whole thing. No more melted hoses.
@@and7976 The twin has a internal manifold with cooling fins that connects the twin compressors which prob helps to remove heat as well. I have a video tearing one down.

Good point, I should have tested that.
I have a ARB twin. You're right about it getting hot!
The ARB coupler has plastic or some composite on it.
