That would work. You can also remove the male connecter from a device you
know fits. I don't have a lot of experience with air tools but I am not
aware of a variety of fittings, they differ in size, quarter inch is usual
for most tools but there are 3/8 fittings and probably bigger ones. Most of

My air compressor hose has a quick connect fitting on the end. Are you
saying that the quick connect coupler at the end of the hose can be
unscrewed? If this is the case then all I need to do is unscrew that
coupler and bring it and the air gun with me and find a match.

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

The female end is machine pressed on the hose and the end of the hose that
connects to the air compressor I think does not have a quick connect.
However I do have the piece that you would use to air up tires and it is the
correct size for the quick connect on my air hose. So could I just brin
The fitting you are looking for is the male half of a quick connection fitting.
These fitting are not all alike. If you have another tool that has the male
fitting that fits into the female quick disconnect fitting, remove it from the
tool and take it to your auto parts store and they will fix

They are called Amflow fittings and there about three or four different
types, take the female side of your amflow connecter with you when
purchasing the male side to make certain you get the right one.
Option two is to purchase a kit, this gives you several of the male
