Is Milton airline fittings still the best? Or is there a better brand. I’m looking for high flow fittings. Wanting to replace all my fittings on everything.

I only use the hi flo fittings on my Paint guns. to use them on every thing would deplete your compressor fast.
Yes Milton would be the best in my opinion.

If that's true, you're starving the rest of your tools for air and peak performance.

I am fine with the performance of the rest of my air tools.
The Paint guns need the Hi flo fittings, I could not believe the performance gain when I first started using them, I had to learn how to paint all over again! definitely a game changer using the correct air fittings. I have thought about using them in my media Blasters but again it takes an already huge air hog and multiplies its air consumption by allowing to breath like it was designed to breath.

I have a good size compressor so I am not too worried about air so much but others would I am sure. BUT hey if you got a Big enough compressor by all means use them they do make all air tools perform like they are supposed too.
