Robert, When you purchase a new air hose it has a threaded male fitting crimped on each end. These fittings are if memory serves a 1/4 pipe thread and compatible with most compressors and add on. In other words you could conceivably thread the crimped coupler on an air hose in to your impact wrench, air drill, recip saw, tire inflater well you get the idea. As you can imagine this would be a horrendous pain in the *^^. This is why we introduce quick coupling technology (Am Flow Fittings.) The female portion of the Am Flow connector screws on to the threaded portion of the fitting crimped on to your air hose and the male end threads into the specific tool, Now rather than un threading your air appliance from the end of the hose you can quickly change from one tool to another. without waiting for your compressor to bleed off all of the air pressure making the change and waiting again for the compressor to rebuild tank pressure. The addition of Am Flow quick connecters are concerned they alleviate all of the time and hassle of threading and un threading each component and the wait time for your compressor. As far as pricing is concerned I think the piece that threads on the hose is about $6.00 and the male pieces that thread in to your air tools are about $2.50 each.
