I once witnessed a crows foot connector come off……it wasnt good. Becareful!

decided to give up on quick release... I'm sure in the future when I need to move something around I'll regret it
until then... it's not worth the bother
I didn't think much about restriction in quick release fittings... but then I opened the 1inch drain tap on my big air tank when it was at 150psi... - I only meant to crack it open but it was stuff and suddenly gave... I was squatting down to reach the valve, the blast of air knocked my over onto my back

Compressed air is powerful stuff (or any gas under pressure). I was once at the garage at Heddon on the Wall. Guy starts blowing up golf low profile tyre. Bang…….Two squaddies and my self reacted, the-rest of the customer base looking bemused. 18 stone bloke flat on his back from the tyre blowing out

If you can a regulator is a good ideal. If you can find a 1/2” one that would be my preference but I’m not sure what tools you plan on using.

a 3 quarter airline snaking round at 100 psi is fun specialy when you grab it a meter from the end and swings back and the claw fitting bats you on the head then swings again and gives you a fat lip 
wont do that again in a hurry
