The other day I broke down and bought myself a Coleman air compressor/tank, a 50' length of air hose, and a real cheap $34 air wrench. I figure the wrench will serve to remove lawn mower blades, and if I find I need a better one someday, I'm not out very much.
I also got a little kit of various air tool assessories, such as a little trigger device for blow-cleaning, and misc fittings.
Here comes the question: (finally! /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif)
This little kit contains a couple of things they call quick connects, but it isn't obvious to me how they are supposed to be used. They are similar to hydraulic quick connects.. with a part which can slide to provide the lock/unlock function. But there is no indication of how you connect these to either the air hose or the tool. As it is, I have to take a wrench and screw the air hose in to whatever tool I want to use. That must be doing it the hard way, no?
Thanks for any hints for this rank beginner! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif
