Yes sir I did it I thought my impact wrenches with no good it was the cheap fittings I'm almost scared to master trigger it's so powerful now!! 😂😂

[@robertmailhos8159]

That is a great idea for your Air tool's because they are needing All the air because they have to the air pressure plus the cubic feet per minute glad you did this video on this matter of air tool's needing All the air that you can get to them

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Absolutely, especially die grinders but even my blow off tool is more powerful now. The more CFM the better in my opinion. Thanks for watching!

[@robertmailhos8159]

@@EliminatorPerformance your welcome Jake and thank you for posting this video on this Air supply matter

[@kevinhintz1903]

Been using these Milton type V connectors for 20 years, a hot set up if you’re painting with HVLP spay guns! Or providing lots of air for abrasive sand blast cabinets too! Volume = maximum efficiency and power!

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Awesome! Good to hear from someone who's used them and tested the longevity/durability. I was planning on doing an update video at some point, but as soon as I hooked up my air line for the 1st time and clicked in, I could tell they were high quality. Thanks for watching!

[@waynestefinashen239]

Great comment we have a portable sandblaster and this equipment with the Miltons will do a much better job. Ours is presently filled with crushed walnut shells.

[@knighthawk86855]

I have them on all my air stuff, shops, and mobile, they are awesome.

[@waynestefinashen239]

Agreed

[@LewisMowersandBoats]

Very cool brother 😎 you can hear the difference 👍 and see when you pulled the trigger nice job Jake 😊

[@waynestefinashen239]

Just like the difference between a pellet rifle and an AK buddy.

Alright lazy folks give up that THUMBS UP, 158 folks have already watched but ONLY 39 thumbs up??? Jake ALWAYS gets a THUMBS UP from me even if I'm NOT interested in the subject, his shear production deserves that !

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Thanks we appreciate it!

[@waynestefinashen239]

Absolutely 100% fantastic comment Rev

[@Turningwrenches85]

I'll have to look into this , sounds like a good product right there for the air tools better flow

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Yes up to 70% more that's quite a claim and I believe it, my tools feel more powerful and seem to work better.

[@knighthawk86855]

I have them on all my air tools, Mac, Ingersoll, Astro, Snap On, and my cheap stuff, and the power increase is awesome.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Good to hear, I'm hoping they last long. $75 wasn't too bad, I'm just happy my fittings/couplers don't leak anymore and can't complain with the volume increase!

[@knighthawk86855]

@@EliminatorPerformance had em for about 2 years now, and no problems at all, they still don't leak, I've spent more then that over the years on em, they are well worth the money.

[@dennishopp4696]

Another good info video, All my fitting leak LOL. In fact one is so bad I remove to tool when I'm not using it. This is going on my to do list. Thank You

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Thanks for watching, they're definitely worth checking out. Same thing here, I disconnected my tools all the time, got annoyed and bought these!

[@Pete.Ty1]

👍👍👍. Thank you for another product that's worth looking into.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

I like to share interesting stuff that I actually use, thanks for watching!

[@DIYVariety]

Great job jake, every little bit counts. I bore out my fitting whenever i have to change them. Cheers

[@EliminatorPerformance]

My couplers were leaking so it's why I changed over them in the 1st place. But oversizing the fittings is a great idea. Thanks for watching!

[@caine-chow]

You're a wealth of knowledge. Do you know who makes Stanley parts? I have a 45 inch Stanley Snowblower, model 45SS I need the worm gear, I cannot seem to find the part number, does anyone know?

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Not that I know of, Stanley Black & Decker just bought out MTD maybe start there?

[@caine-chow]

@@EliminatorPerformance i found a place in the US, I need to order the entire gearbox which i dont need. I just need the worm gear. But they dont sell just that.

[@waynestefinashen239]

Well done Jake i actually love the colour coding idea. Now let us put the mathematics to this product. Let's say your hourly rate is $60 per hour which is highly unlikely since i have heard some shops are charging $120 to $135 per hour. But at $60 per hour you are charging out at a rate of $1 per minute. This product works as advertised and appears to provide the 70% more flow and having used these fittings it has reduced my time cutting out decks for weld repair. Reduction from 50 to 70% is reasonable so if the work would have taken 1 hour and now take 30 minutes i just realised a savings of $30 minimum. Basically these fittings pay for themselves in a short period of time. Note: when using the air gun to blow out and dry off carbs be sure to turn down the pressure with the regulator and never blow debris off your clothes these really do increase airflow significantly.

[@colt5189]

Why not instead pay a little more and go with steel or at least brass?

[@waynestefinashen239]

I guess that would be ok but we like the colour and so far no issues with wear or air leakage just a great product with superior air flow.@@colt5189

[@hubertrobinson8825]

As I'm watching this just a few weeks ago I bought some high flow fittings at Harbor Freight to eventually change out all fittings to that size even the 13gallon on my welding rig

[@james10739]

I had a bunch of harbor freight stuff and drilled out all my fittings a while ago im not sure how much it helped but cant hurt but it seemed like it was a good amount of material removed

[@losmoore3358]

Great video. I like them fittings. Did the 1/4 Milton coupler fit on your 1/2 hose ? Thank u for this video.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Yes everything worked out perfectly! These fittings are great, they flow really well and they don't leak at the couplers!

[@motorcoachtech7615]

A couple of years back, I was talking with a sister coach operator from the US, about how they repair roof water leaks. He was telling me they were using an ultrasonic sound tool that finds the leak in the seam seals. I asked him how he likes it, to which he replied, "I love it, because we had to fix all our air leaks in our shop". Have a good week. Rick

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Ha that's a good one Rick, at least he got something out of it. Thanks for watching! Also, it's interesting you mentioned that tool. Port Colborne is currently using an ultrasonic/acoustic listening device to try and track down the source of the towns leaking water pipes. We pay the highest water rates in the region!

[@waynestefinashen239]

A great comment.

[@colt5189]

When I upgraded to Milton high flow couplers. I didn't go with aluminum. I went with brass female and steel male. As the male couplers tend to get banged around compared to female that are more protected. Also, I believe they recommend if you put the male coupler in the air tool like impact wrenches, they recommend you go with steel as I guess they take a banging. But I believe they kind of recommend you use a hose extension with impact wrenches so the couplers don't take as much banging.

[@waynestefinashen239]

We have not had any issues to date with the aluminum grade.

[@tae912]

Can you use the purple Milton male piece into any non Milton female connector? I know you said you can connect non Milton ones into purple female connector but what about the other way around? My company's shop all have old connectors so I was wondering if I can still use my personal purple male plug into all of them.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

I can test that out tomorrow and get back to you

[@kjell-richardlvdal373]

Great info

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Thanks for watching!

[@nicholasmaguire7468]

Great video- did you have to make the air hose yourself to get 1/4 fittings on the 1/2” line?

[@EliminatorPerformance]

No we bought it locally it's a retractable hose, and the 1/4 NPT fittings fit perfectly. I'm sure you can get 3/8" or 1/2" hose and make 1/4 NPT fittings fit, might need adapters?

[@nicholasmaguire7468]

But you had to install the fittings onto the air hose yourself right? Hard here to find a 1/2” hose that comes standard with 1/4” fittings much less high outlet

[@nicholasmaguire7468]

Or you are saying those 1/4” fittings will screw right up?

[@henrymurawskibigdogrepair]

Thanks Jake got to get some

[@EliminatorPerformance]

They're good, and they don't leak!

[@waynestefinashen239]

You will not be disappointed Hank they work great

[@Jadams0410]

Milton V style is the only fitting i use. With tools like dia grinder and air hammers you will norice the difference

[@EliminatorPerformance]

They've been great!

[@Rein_Ciarfella]

How often do you drain your compressor tank? Ever thought about removing a fitting and using a borescope to see what kind of rust might be forming on the bottom of the tank?

[@waynestefinashen239]

Normally during the summer months which are extremely humid once per week provided we have run the compressor that week. During the winter months when humidity is less and the shop heater is running keeping it cozy once every 3 weeks. Find less water during the winter always and Jake and i have discussed doing such a video since this type of tool is a bomb waiting to happen. We have also discussed having it positioned on the other side of the shop wall which is also heated during the winter, thus more protection if it ever failed. Since we have high torque Milwaukee battery operated tools it is rare that we pressurise the compressor to near maximum psi rating.

[@Rein_Ciarfella]

Just out of curiosity, Jake, have you done the soapy water test on all fittings after you installed in case there are small leaks you can’t hear?

[@waynestefinashen239]

Absolutely no air leakage not even minor silent leakage.

[@jesse8721]

I’ve read on the Milton site that the color fit couplers and plugs are NOT recommended for high vibration tools - impacts and orbital sanders, etc. … ??? If none of the color fit stuff works on them, why are videos showing them being used ??

[@EliminatorPerformance]

@@jesse8721 who knows, likely because it could change the volume of air, but it's all pressure regulated so I wouldn't see it as a huge issue. They work great

[@rotarycomptech]

Foster has always made the best quick disconnects or quick couplers. Whatever you wanna call him they’ve been around forever.

[@danielcote4888]

Allô, quel grosseur de compresseur avez-vous? Merci et bonne journée.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Sorry I don't understand that, but thanks for watching!

[@waynestefinashen239]

Failed French in high school but i think i comprehend. We have a 25 gallon Central Pneumatic air compressor that we purchased at Harbour Freight in the USA on return from a trip to Florida. It will pump up to 150 psi but we rarely set the regulator to that pressure. It has oil in the pump that we change every few years the major thing to remember is to drain the water on a regular basis because rusting internally can cause this air tank to become a bomb when pressurised. Hope this helps. C'est bonne eh? Viva la francais et les habitants!

[@MrMcGuy]

Pro Tip: You do not have to pull back on the coupler collar to connect a tool. Just press together. You’re welcome.

[@philliphall5198]

Yea after 20 years I replace them Don’t need high flow, 180 psi is enough for 1 inch impacts

[@waynestefinashen239]

We rarely run our air compressor above 100 psi but then again we have the high torque battery operated Milwaukee impact gun and the Induction Innovation Mini Ductor induction gun to use when nuts or bolts are seized. The higher flow rate does reduce the time when using the air grinder cut off wheels since we only have a 25 gallon air compressor.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Once we switched to Milwaukee I noticed we rarely use the air, but it's nice to have when you need it. Thanks for watching!

[@JeepITguy]

Good lord. Actually having to tell people how to apply tape. It's sad.

[@jessecanales9000]

The problem with this product they are low quality they are made from aluminum they worn out quickly

[@waynestefinashen239]

Well i hate to be the bearer of bad news but have you ever heard of aircraft aluminum? Some high quality fittings Jesse but i am sure Jake will update everyone if he has issues. I have been using these fitting on the air tools for some time now and find that they perform as advertised and save a lot of time which equates to money when your running a business.

[@EliminatorPerformance]

I'll have to do an update video later on to determine quality and longevity. I just wanted to share the product in case anyone else had leaking fittings. Thanks for watching!

[@EliminatorPerformance]

Also, as shown in the video, they also make these high flow fittings and couplers out of steel and brass!
