I use to work for a pneumatic pump company and Parker Presto-Locks are not equalled by anyone in the market.

We spent alot of time trying to save money with other MFG's and always ended up with the Parker ones.

As somebody else mentioned, tubing condition makes as much if not more a difference in performance than fittings. Clean square cut end, smooth OD, Proper OD, & full insertion are a must.

Just an FYI: You can have good fittings and bad tubing...and have just as much trouble.
