Bought them in 2017...

. And since then, if I use it in moderation every day, I've had no problems. I bought a set "Red" of 14 pieces. Type D 1/4NPT. He did a good job. So for something that lasts so long, I love pink. I used a product called "Permatex Pneumatic/Hydraulic Sealant" for the threads. everything worked pretty well. Only with this compressor that is adjustable 150 psi. With Flexilla hose. Works pretty well. Reading other reviews I don't know what to think?

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • Very expensive

Well, if you don't use them that often

We have purchased several 14 piece sets and use them in the industrial setting and also change overhead air tools several times a day. After about a month we noticed that they started to lose air due to wear on the male clutch. If you look at them, they are made of aluminum and not steel. They'll probably be fine for a hobbyist who doesn't use a lot of air, but when you're changing tools at your airline, you often have to expect them to wear out quickly and leak air. I won't buy them again.

Pros
  • price
Cons
  • the list will be long.

Not suitable for long-distance travel.

They're great at first, but they just wear out and leak like any other fitting. But other fittings are cheaper. Speaking of cheaper, that seems like a bit of a scam. I don't want to spend the money to switch all my tools back to non-ColorConnex fittings, so I bit the bullet and bought a different end of the hose. I just can't bring myself to replace everything I've already bought. And to be clear - I use them at home. I'm a simple handyman and use them for the occasional tire change, an air…

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Safety

Don't worry junk Aluminum

Incredibly poor fit from the quick connector side, it rattles and leaks constantly. Why? They're a few mm smaller for a 1/4" quick connect. They fit the NPT side fairly well if you remember to use tape or some other sealant (like you would with any air or hose fitting ).Objecting to their return; I can get them working with extra cover for now and wonder how much hassle it would be to just get them back. I think I'd better go to plan B and build the kit myself if I have the would like to have…

Pros
  • Lots of positive emotions
Cons
  • The price of the piggy bank

Poor manufacture or design

The fittings leaked air as soon as my compressor blew a little over 40psi (far from their 300 rated maximum) and thought it was ok maybe were the tolerances just cater to bad luck on both sides from different manufacturers. Used a hose with a better fitting connector so the only active quick disconnect came from the ColorConnex kit itself and had the same issue with their own fittings (tried all suitable kits). I'm not sure if it was a manufacturing defect or just bad design, but these things…

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • Could have gone for a newer model

BUYER BEWARE - these are cheap imitations

Buy another air hose fitting/connector kit - not this one. The ColorConnex plug and connector kit (14pcs) shipped in January 2020 does not match the picture or description in the Revain listing. As other reviewers have pointed out, they are NOT red as pictured, more of a pink color and NOT industrial grade aluminum. Cheap feel and smaller size compared to other brass and aluminum air fittings I've used. Definitely NOT industrial quality. A cheap 14-pack imitation of the ColorConnex coupler and…

  • Hands free operation
