Made in USA Milton airline coupler. The China hose end would not work, had to go get a Milton hose end so I could use it.

Re: Sold American!
 

D.B., where did you purchase the Milton airline coupler? I need to replace the ones on my air compressor. I have a 3 way splitter so I can use multiple hoses and air tools at the same time. Hate having to un-couple and re-couple constantly when using several air tools during a garage/shop repair. Have to fiddle with the connections right now to keep them from bleeding air during use.

Re: Sold American!
 

Fwiw, I’ve had good luck on eBay with some recent Milton purchases also US made.

Ironhorse, I got them from a local family-owned hardware/feed store, see below.

McDonnell Building Materials and Feed
600 N Main St
Keller Tx 76248
P: 817.431.3551

I will have to correct my statement about what I thought the reason the couplers didn't connect to each other. It was due to the style and not USA/China like I thought. Went back and got the right style "T" male coupler. All good now.

My OG Vans, Jeff Spicoli specials circa 1983 ;). Found them while cleaning out my mom’s garage the other day. They are like new, WAY better quality than what is made now. My daughter is beyond stoked and can’t wait to sport them at school next week :)

Re: Sold American!
 

That’s awesome! I have an old Vans shoe box I kept from back in the 80s.

Re: Sold American!
 

Yes Sir, I have the type M male and bought the type T quick coupler. Then went back and bought the male type T. You're never too old to learn something new.

Re: Sold American!
 

The "L" type strike me as a good design, since they wouldn't flex so much and trash the o-rings. Looks like I have mostly "T" fittings, which leak like stupid unless they are turned just right..

If you need new boots…

Re: Sold American!
 

I have that exact pair. Those and Double H were the only US made boots in the local farm store. They appear to be just as good as my last Red Wings, but less $$.

Re: Sold American!
 

Thorogood are great boots!

.mil issue in naval coastal warfare, liked em so much I bought a few pair that have lasted several years after retired.

many years ago I ran the camp pendleton mud run in boots and utes wearing a pair of these :metal:

Nice. I fly the 30 year old Valley Forge flag that draped my grandfathers casket on certain days. The recent anniversary of D Day for example. He went ashore that day on Omaha beach.

Re: Sold American!
 

wow, great way to honor his service - I salute him!

mine is also a holiday flag, but it was a gift from blue valley savings in oak grove when my grandpa opened an account there. not nearly as meaningful LoL

The new shed

Re: Sold American!
 

That is an wonderful heirloom, especially considering his history. A great way to honor him and those who served then and now. Having read about those beach landings, I am amazed at those who went ashore.

Re: Sold American!
 

Very cool set up!

Re: Sold American!
 

I looked that sale up. Amazing amounts they sold for. I don't think I could part with a collection like that though. Unless I was really in dire straights...

Re: Sold American!
 

Excellent! :lol:

Re: Sold American!
 

Agree. Wonder who was pulling the strings on that.

Re: Sold American!
 

Maybe he got a blister on his thumb?
