[Shop-talk] question about cheap air compressors

[BJNoSHOV8]

I picked up the starter set ("industrial" connectors) at HarborFreight 
yesterday, on sale for $6.  They do not fit the connector on my 
compressor.  I guess this is not a big deal, I just need to pick up a 
new coupler to put on the compressor.

I haven't found rubber hose at any local store except HF, and they only 
have the black hose.  I was going to pick up a hose on ebay, but my 
father said he has a big roll of it.
