Default Keeping air tools clean

Or you can try these. Much less expensive and they work well, but easier to
loose.

The very nature of air tools has them "living" in environments with
dust and grit. To keep dirt out of the leader hose on my air tools I
cap them with baby bottle nipples on the quick disconnet fitting.
They are a good fit. . If you know someone raising an infant the
price and be really right as they need to be replaced, but they are
still good for my purposes. After a while they do get brittle and
they no longer work for my purposes, but I usually lose them before
that.

Perhaps there is a reason this isn't a good idea. I would be please
to hear you ideas.

idea, but they work and are convenient enough to justify the exorbitant
price.
