I'm tired of using H.F. junk air hose fittings...  they all leak and are a =
pain to couple and uncouple. You have to pull the collar back and push in t=
he male connector then reverse it to remove

I want the push in (without the collar) easy to release 3/8" flow =E2=80=A6=
 don't=20
care about the thread size I can adapt.  My old hands and grip are as weak
as my bank balance.,

What is affordable and usable..   I've got about 10 air tools (male) and th=
ree hoses (female) and the money will add up quickly  =20

I bought a bunch of Milton brand couplers, and I'm very happy to change all
of my cheap crap for them.  I got started when these were on sale for about
$7 each:

https://www.acmetools.com/milton-99705-1-4in-fnpt-m-style-safety-coupler-s-=
99705/030937312150.html

They aren't that cheap now but you can find them for $10 or $11.  They are
a safety coupler.  Push in to connect; one press of the red button loosens
it and bleeds the pressure, and the second press releases the coupling.  At
the time, I was getting paid to be the safety officer, so I was trained to
think about the worst that could happen.

The Milton web site often runs sales, or you can watch other places for
deals.

Years ago I was at some garden shop and I saw some quicj release hose 
fittings.  I thought cool, just like my air hose fittings.  I bought 
some, put them on the garden hose and various sprinklers and such. 
First day I had them, I figured they were just like my air hose 
fittings.  I went to uncouple a sprayer from the main hose, which still 
had full pressure on it.

A mistake you only make once.

There are garden hose couplers with an auto-cut-off feature but it is fairl=
y rare and far from universal.
One advantage to these is they twist so you can aim the spray nozzle withou=
t twisting the hose and possibly unscrewing the connection.
