I always throw them away and get pcl fittings, but if you're stuck on them ebay

there are wider and let more air flow freely

I did look on eBay but all the sellers were Hong Kong weeks in post before arriving

Screwfix is the cheapest place if you want them locally. Search for PCL XF, they are £1.79 and proper PCL so good quality

If you are stuck I can probably stick one in the post as I normally keep some spare.

Don't get the Lidl ones, they are rubbish & break/fall apart!

And the ones I've had from toolstation didnt last long before leaking, binned them and replaced them with genuine pcl from screwfix, not had a leak since.

For the sockets, I bought one of the Lidl 4 way manifolds, that gave me 4 sockets & 1 male end for around £4, can’t do better than that. All in chrome on brass, really good quality. When I changed from a mix of odd fittings to PCL HF used Screwfix, the price then was half what anyone else was selling at.

I purchased 8 of the PCL fittings from Screwfix on Friday

On the end of my most used air hose I have a lidl female coupling. They only last a few weeks before the plastic non return valve inside it breaks, stops working & air flows freely out the end if you've no tool attached!
This is only diy use, not constant swapping tools. I had built up a good stock of spare ones before I realised how rubbish they are so I can fit a new one but when they run out I'll be fitting genuine PCL ones.

I got a bunch of the AldiLidl euro connectors for the oily outlets, had no problems, Screwfix PCL ft or the clean, ditto!

You have to be careful with the Euro connectors as they are not all the same fitting, they will fit generally but with some struggling
