Higher volume air quick connects?
 
Got a 60 gallon 5 hp compressor, 1/2" air lines, 3/8" quick connects which is what was availabe from HF back when I bought it. Anyone know of a reasonably priced higher flow quick connect? Don't want to have to permanently mount my 3/4" imact to the hose...

I got some 3/8 high flows from McMaster Carr, but they don't have the internal shut off valve when you disconnect (which restricts air flow). I typically use the 3/4 impact only on one outlet, so I added a 1/4 turn ball valve to shut off the air. Also made an adapter from the 3/8 to the normal shop 1/4" disconnects, so that port can still be used for other tools.

You want Milton V-Style couplings.
