Legacy A73458D Color Connex Type D 14 Piece. 1/4 in. Red Coupler and Plug Kit

Legacy A73458D Color Connex Type D 14 Piece. 1/4 in. Red Coupler and Plug Kit
  • Industrial type D connectors in all red colors
  • Allows matching of couplers for dedicated hose applications.
  • Push connect easy connect system
  • Female and Male couplers are the same color

Have a shop on our farm and constantly using air tools. Was using the cheap chinese connectors but decided to spend a little more money and get some quality ones. Cant go wrong with these. You always know what type you have by looking at the color of them. I bought two packs and changed all my tools over to them. NOTHING leaks air anymore.....

I've been using the cheap brass couplers (with the rubber o-ring) and fittings for several years and I always found myself fighting with the air tools to get them to connect to the coupler and also had problems with it leaking around the o-ring. It got to the point where I had to lay the air tool down on the ground and had to put my weight on it in order for it to latch into place.

I installed these as soon as they arrived and all I can say is I'm very impressed with quality. There are 4 ball bearings that secure the fitting into the coupler (inside the collar) which makes connecting/disconnecting the air tool a quick and painless process. Also, there are no o-rings you need to worry about tearing and leaking.

I would have given this 5 stars but one of the female couplers was defective which didn't allow the fittings to seat correctly. Amazon offered to send me a replacement kit if I returned it, but I installed all the fittings already so it would be too much of a hassle to replace just the one piece. Overall, it was still worth the purchase.

We had bought several 14 pc sets and use these in an industrial environment and switch out air tools several times a day on an air line. After about a month we noticed that they started leaking air due to wear on the male coupling. After looking at them they are made of aluminum instead of the steel. They would probably good for the hobby guy that doesnt use air that much, but if you swap out tools on your airline often expect them to wear fast and start leaking air. I We won't be buying them again.

I thought I would try this product based on the reviews. So far, the one female coupler end has worked ok when it is plugged in, however, it is leaking when it does not have a male coupler plugged into it. I have not tried all of the fittings in the pack yet...

I work with electronics and basic construction projects daily. I have wanted a compressor for years and finally made the jump into buying one. I bought a Husky branded 8-gallon compressor. The unit was affordable and of decent quality. I went with an oil-driven compressor to save on noise pollution.

After building my compressor and breaking it in, I needed to put a few things together. I got some teflon tape, a 50' Craftsman air hose that I got on a deal, and I ordered these fittings. I wanted fittings that were of good quality, and I also wanted my materials to look nice (the compressor is red, the hose is red, these connectors are red).

In terms of pricing, they are fairly expensive. I spend 25% of what I paid for the compressor just to buy these fittings. They're necessary for everything you use, though, so I dove in and bought them.

If you're debating getting this set or the smaller 7pc set, don't hesitate. Buy the 14pc set. In addition to constructing the air hose mentioned above, I needed more connectors for the tools I bought at Harbor Freight (they don't come pre-made). Overall, I have used almost every piece that I bought just to get my basic tool collection ready for use.

Have metric wrenches ready when building your air tools/hoses!

  • Designed to inflate vehicle, ATV, motorcycle and other tires
  • Also inflates, soccer, basketball, football and other sports equipment

This unit burned out very quickly. Not heavy duty enough for car tires. Might be okay for the occasional bicycle tire. I was very disappointed.

Jet JSM-704 1/2-Inch Pneumatic Drill with Reverse

Jet JSM-704 1/2-Inch Pneumatic Drill with Reverse
  • Ball bearing and needle bearing construction for more efficient performance
  • Muffled handle exhaust for quiet operation
  • Variable speed trigger for positive control
  • Equipped with Jacobs chuck
  • Auxiliary side handle for increased control

I was skeptical on how much torque the drill would have, because I have a competitive brand 3/8" 1200RPM that doesn't develop much. I was pleasantly surprised, but not impressed. I'm able to stop the chuck with my hand, but it takes a good grip. I'd say the torque if comparable to my 18volt cordless. The 800 RPM is a good functional speed.

Dual Run Capacitor 45/5 MFD 440 Volt Round - Air Conditioning Replacement Part

Dual Run Capacitor 45/5 MFD 440 Volt Round - Air Conditioning Replacement Part
  • Air Conditioning Dual Run Capacitor 45/5 Microfarad 440 Volt
  • Common run capacitor for some air conditioning compressors.
  • Used on some A/C compressors. Metal casing. Round shape. 2 terminals with 4 prongs each.
  • Made in Mexico, more reliable then capacitors from China.

I'm sure capacitor will work fine, but product description states the capacitor is a Mars product made in Mexico vs a made in China capacitor. Actual product shipped is an equivalent capacitor but made in China for Supco. Have had reliability issues with Capacitors from China. Bottom line I expected a product with Brand as shown.

It is a capacitor. What do you want me to say? It capacitates the heck out of my A/C system. In fact I don't think it has ever capacitated better. They shipped it quick and packed it well.
