OUR VERDICT
Automatic 1/2" industrial coupler: push the plug in and it locks on its own. The right choice when the same hose changes tools all day. Industrial-style plugs only.
WHAT WE LIKE
- Made in the USA by Foster, heavy-duty industrial grade
- Push the plug in and it locks, no sleeve to pull back
- Solid brass body
- One-way shut-off on disconnect
WORTH NOTING
- Costs more than the manual coupler
- Pull the sleeve back to release, same as a manual
