Apparently I've managed to become 40 years old without knowing this.
When you buy a "Tire Pressure Monitor" it comes with what I've always know as being an Air "Quick Connect" - the style that you can use with any Home Depot style compressor, and that everything fits on - from small brad nailers to framing nailers, pneumatic screw drivers etc.
HOWEVER, when you buy a "Tire Inflator" it comes with a completely different beast- even though they ALSO call it a "quick connect" on the box - it's not the same thing and it doesn't fit any of the "Quick Connect" hoses I have.
I thought this was just a Chinese piece of proprietary crap, so then I got a second "Tire Inflator" (a Goodyear), and it has an identical connect to the Hausbell. And they ALSO call a "Quick Connect"...
I've never seen this style of "Quick Connect" before, and Google is letting me down. What is this thing actually called and how do you "adapt" from the "Tire Inflator" to the "Tire Pressure Monitor" quick connects? (And WHY are those not using the same thing??)
