I think I've got all my air tools fitted back to front, with the heavy female quick release coupling on the end of the hose run from the compressor and the male fitting on the tool. I did this because it's cheaper to buy just one female fitting and several male ones, but this might be the wrong way to do it. Can anybody explain why?
I've just got a new spray gun. I have to make a solid connection between hose and gun and not use a quick release fitting. It says to fit a metre of hose and then a quick release coupling. I suspect all the tools should be like that but why?
