How expensive is the kit that is shown in the video? I would love to have one to simplify my life, however, I don't want to break my piggy bank to pieces to buy it. I have been struggling with getting the correct fittings to fit my hoses to put new couplings onto them. I just bought 3 pairs on Amazon from Summit to try to find what fits. I know that one hose is NPTM one is O ring, and the 3rd looks like it is JIC because it has a flare at the end of the threads, but when I took the old coupling to the NAPA store, they said it wasn't. They couldn't figure it out either and that one will have to wait until I can figure out what it is.

Just added a couple hydraulic flow regulators to my air blast sprayer. The volute was way too violent when I would manipulate the remote lever. I added these to slow down the action. I'll put them through a test run spraying this weekend but after installation it appears that it has accomplished what I was looking for.

I’ve had my fair share of confusion when it comes to matching the right ones for different jobs. So just wanted to share my experience with quick couplers. A while ago, I ended up buying the wrong set for a machine I was working on, and it caused quite a headache with leaks and delays.

After going through some detailed guides on identifying the right thread and body sizes, it made a huge difference! It’s honestly one of those things that can save a lot of time and frustration in the long run.

Hydraulic systems are tricky enough without adding wrong couplers to the mix! Definitely a must-know for anyone working in the field.
