Air Line Fittings
I have a another annoying problem, with the air compressor in my shop. The quick coupling leaks air, and if you rotate it just right it stops. You get busy into a project and you have to stop and fittle around with this, or uncouple the blow gun.
 Is there the "Cadillac" line of air line fittings..??? I don't mind spend a bit more for a better fitting.

Hey Roland, most of those types actually come apart and you can replace that oring seal. PM or email me a pic of what you have or need replaced. I have some of those female couplers, new ones, that I wont use that will happily send out to you. Pretty sure that the ones that I have are universal and they are heavy duty. Parker, Aeroquip, there are several brands out there, can't remember what I have, will look tomorrow.

Bigmozeke is right on the Parker fittings. I'd say if you can buy it at Northern Tool, or Harbour Freight or Walmart for that matter....forget it. Get it at a real tool dealer or Industrial supply store and you'll be satisfied.

I couple and uncouple air fittings about a hundred times a day in my shop. I have not found a coupler that last longer than another. They all wear out. Both ends. I have to replace them about every year or so. Even the ones on the tools wear out. I haven't wanted to go to the expense of going to a different style. (I use "M" style in NAPA brand IIRC.) I thought about going to the longer fittings. I have heard that part of the reason they wear out is the side load. The longer "nosed" ones go into the coupler deeper and it's supposed to help. IDK. Long winded, but what I'm trying to say is..... just replace both ends and it will stop....... for a while.
 For those of you who may not know, there are about 6-8 different "styles" of quick couplers. They are not all interchangable.

I've only recently started using these and so far, so good. Mixed answers on Made in USA or not (product isn't marked made in USA..).
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Parker also makes awesome fittings, but they're on the spendy side usually. I didn't price them out before I went with the above, but I probably should have.  I will say that they are noticeably higher quality than the crap fittings I replaced. I probably would bother to install new o-rings in these if they started to leak. I'll also agree that just about everything you buy from a box store is garbage. When I setup my "shop" on practically no budget 10 years ago it was all HF fittings and they were OK for a regular guy for about 5 years, then I did them again, now I'm trying to find what "grandpa had" that never leaked. If you're a hardcore user like J-Mech then they're probably disposable like he says in the quick disconnect type. You may be better off to put your most commonly used tools on high quality reels without disconnects. They're again, spendy, but I recommend Reelcraft reels (Parker swivels that nearly never fail). Dad did that with his air tools back when he was wrenching. It also prevented them from growing legs.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
