Max I still don't know how well this filter mag works but I know that it is not snake oil. Fore you see, magnets are not oil, they are made of metal, at least the last time I checked. But seriouslly, I know that if you put a magnet on the oil filter it will trap some of the metal particles.

The fitting you are looking for is the male half of a quick connection fitting. These fitting are not all alike. If you have another tool that has the male fitting that fits into the female quick disconnect fitting, remove it from the tool and take it to your auto parts store and they will

Hi Some of today's most modern car engines can reach 100,000 miles before their first scheduled tune-up. Unfortunately, there is no 100,000 mile miracle motor oil to protect them. After a few thousand miles or kilometers of service, virtually every commercial motor oil becomes contaminated with

That would work. You can also remove the male connecter from a device you know fits. I don't have a lot of experience with air tools but I am not aware of a variety of fittings, they differ in size, quarter inch is usual for most tools but there are 3/8 fittings and probably bigger ones. Most
