When I did my roof at home, I wanted to run two air nailers, on the one compressor. All I needed was a "T" a male adapter, and a couple of quick disconnects.
It plugs into the quick disconnect that I have on the compressor.

When my family builds a house or any remodel project, theres no such thing as empty hands "I can't find a nailer" " I don't have a hose" On a roofing party, we will have one guy start the shingles, two guys running the rows across, and one guy doing finish cuts at the end of the rows.

I use one tool at a time but sometimes I run out of air with a couple of air tools I have and I have a 35 gallon tank, this mod will extend my air time.
Sorry Joe. Not trying to out-do you, but I've had these for years. My family has a long history of construction.

Yeah it comes down to the person who takes the time to write-up a how-to in my book. If you got the cool mods and dont want to share them that doesnt count.
