I have a Makita 4 gallon hotdog which I originally bought to blow out shavings in my lathe turnings. Since then I've added a vacuum system, air brush, impact hammer, and brad gun. I've got lines running everywhere.
The problem is leaks. I've resealed just about every connector but still have leaks. The connectors that came with the compressor do not leak. The other connectors are Harbor Freight and Kobalt. If I jiggle a connected connector I can hear it leak so as far as I'm concerned they both are bad.
The other thing I don't like is they are 2 handed connectors. I have to pull down a sleeve before inserting the the other end. The Makita connectors slip right in and don't jiggle.
Who makes good connectors and where can I get them?
Thanks,
Burt
