Default swivel air fittings

never noticed these but i wonder how quickly they wear out from the
swivel action and start leaking air

seems like a good idea especially with those stiff air hoses to
minimize wrestling with the air hose


thinking more about this

putting these ball-type swivel fittings on the tools and the hose
ends might eliminate much of the coiling and fighting of standard
air hoses

it will allow much more freedom to the hose to turn and twist

the typical swivel air fitting only moves left or right so the hose
has to be hand turned to undo coiling where these swivel fittings
will probably undo coiling just from the force of the hose
