My problem is the Milton connector you all talk about doesn't match

that's a lot of connectors...

So what are we talking about?

20, maybe 30 plugs at a cost of less than $2.00 each?


Actually, I bet most home shops have less than that. I'd have to really
think about how many I have, and I'd bet I have more air tools than most
here, but I'd bet it's under 30 connectors for me.

I think I am somewhere in that neighborhood.

Impact wrenches (2)
air hammer
air rachet
air grease lube gun.
air brake bleader.
8 spray guns.
6 air brushes.
5 air nailers


1 inline filter for at the gun location (2 connectors 1 male 1 female )
1 air dryer (inline)
4 inline regulators, using 2 connectors (yea I have other regulators
with separators on compressor and hose reel, but this allows close qtr
adjustment.
6 blow guns
1 sandblaster.
3 air chucks
about 6 hoses (2 connectors)

I am sure I have a few other air tools that I haven't even considered.
so I am pushing 40 maybe.
