Dave,
You're going to have to change your tag line - you CAN weld wood

Just finished fitting £110 worth of PCL XF fittings - all i can say is WOW!
Totally transformed all of my air tools 100%, they now seem at least twice as powerful and no slowing down!
My air hoses are all 10mm / 3/8" so the problem was down to the cheap Euro crap fittings i got off eBay.
From now on i'll stick to branded fittings only.

£110 of fittings, what are you doing, supplying comp air to half the county? 
I had a cheap euro socket fitting that was supplied with some tool or other, never used it until I converted to PCL XF. First time I plugged a air line into it, it went of with a loud bang & the metal broke then fell apart. Lasted all of 5 minutes, so as you say crap!

Lasted all of 5 minutes, so as you say crap!It does soon mount up, I've been meaning to do mine for ages, I would need 13 couplings and probably 20 probes so I would be talking £125 just in connectors. For my most used I'm going Prevost couplings which are £18 each so I could easily be talking £200 which is why I haven't bothered yet 
How do you reach 13 coupling??It does soon mount up, I've been meaning to do mine for ages, I would need 13 couplings and probably 20 probes so I would be talking £125 just in connectors.

It's probably more than that if I did absolutely everything.
2 retractable hoses,5 loose hoses,2 outlets on main compressor,2 drop connectors on the main back bone, 2 on a Y connector, 1 on a petrol compressor,2 on a small compressor,2 portable air receivers.1 on tyre changer. Pretty sure there will be a couple on small extension hose etc
It's going to add up
