What are the best leak-free air compressor quick-connects?

I need to standardize on one type, not sure what's most efficient.
 
I've standardized on Milton "V-style", seems like a 1/4" NPT fitting that flows like a 3/8" NPT fitting.

The walls of the male fittings are very thin (it's basically a hollowed-out high-flow standard 1/4" fitting), so I think it's best to get the steel male fittings instead of the brass male fittings. So far they pass leak checks with flying colors.

Glad to see this. I’ve been eyeing them.

Doesn't matter what nipple you standardize with on all your tools as long as all your hoses have one of these on them. I bought one to try out and I absolutely love it.

I use Lincoln style on all my stuff since that what dad swears by in his body shop. The longer nipple seams to make the seals last longer.

Might have to look into those. I cant stand when a fitting is leaking air
 
 
All our hose end couplers are from kimball and they have a built in blow gun. There is a button on them to blow air which is super handy.
