The quick-disconnects from McMaster have been good for me. The Chinese cheapies from HF and Tractor Supply have not.

I'll add, I bought a bunch of Milton V connectors, turned out to be China made. They have worked well. I was a little peeved about them being made in China. Most of their stuff is China now, I don't think much is USA.

edit: I stand corrected, a lot of the stuff marked new, is now made in USA. Last time I bought, it wound up coming from them and said China on the package. ?????????

These are definitely from China, but they are suitable and priced well. Well under budget at less than $7 per pair.

It's not about being from China, it's about good design and quality control versus not.

O just buy whatever is on the shelves at PA for QD’s.
Get a clunker every now and then but they’ve worked fine for the most part.

I find clean, dry air and drop drains are a big part of keeping qd’s alive without the pfffftttt…..
 
Another ebay purchase... a MT5 to 5c collet adapter...

I'm planning to fit this to the Hendey gearhead lathe for machining smaller parts. I'll need to make a draw tube closer for it.

how much did that one run you to Bear? I have one I need to get rid of, no idea what they're worth though.
