🔌 Bostitch BTFP72333 1/4-Inch Industrial Series Swivel Plug with NPT Male Thread Review

Bought for my new Bostic nail gun, works as intended and is a must have for ALL air tools in my opinion but expensive in my opinion. I think air tools should come with them instead of the buyer having to look for them and order them separately. Keep Going Sellers, add this to the price and make shopping more attractive and easier for us.

I don't know why I bought this. The swivel lets the hose dangle and the o-ring doesn't seal completely unless it's straight, so I hold the hose in one hand and the nail gun in the other. Then when I lower the nailer I have to pull out the hose so I don't have to keep hearing it hiss. That and the air compressor clicks more often when I'm not.

These are the best swivels I have ever had. I've bought other swivels in the past and nothing works as well as this one. I have a Bostitch nailer with this swivel and it worked so well I bought another swivel for my newest nailer. Unlike other swivels I own, this one doesn't leak or sag (swing too far). I thought it was a 180 degree turn. will work fine, but I actually find them quite annoying.

VERY functional! A swivel connection on my air tools is very important and a SUPER solution. The swivel function prevents the air hose from getting tangled and moving in hard-to-reach places - a REAL plus when working on stairs over an overhanging ceiling. I really like the Bostitch thread sealant. Some extra force is required during installation, but the seal is strong and will not leak. Now I have 5 of them in operation, if necessary I will order more.

I only used solid nipples before trying this one. Unlike those cheap ones, this one gives you a few degrees of tilt and also comes with thread sealant pre-applied. I always keep teflon tape on hand for all plumbing projects, but if you don't, this might be the way to go. In my experience, a few degrees of flex was pretty much negligible. The air hose will still pull on the tool if you don't give yourself slack.

I don't know how I managed without these swivel connectors. Although it's only a small movement, the tool feels much lighter than with a traditional static connector. This Bostitch connector was purchased specifically for use with the BOSTITCH N66C-1 1-1/4" to 2-1/2" Aluminum Body Nailer. I've used it to cover up a new 10 x 10 barn as well as a two story 22 x 22 extension to my home and have had no problems with leaks to date. I don't keep my tools; This connector hit the concrete floor from a…
