I fit this to a coiled air hose to make an emergency air line, works great!

Not a lot to say, I still a direct fit, no leaks, and the air lines attach nice and snug. What more can you ask for? I say nothing and that’s why these are five stars. Works great and do what they are supposed too.

On any retired military truck that has an air brake system, the glad hands have always seen better days. For some reason, you can bet your last dollar they will need to be totally rebuilt or, replaced. And these low cost, generics are perfect to replace your old ones. In my case, I will be refurbishing my old ones to keep the trucks original but, I will still be able to use my trucks and their air brakes as needed until I have the old glad hands ready to reinstall. They would also work well on any standard commercial truck needing a glad hand replacement. Materials, machining and fit all seem to be good. They even include some extra rubber seals that are color coded for both service and parking brake. Color coded rubber seals are a great idea for old, ugly glad hands that the paint has worn off of. Makes things easier to hook up just by the color coding of the new seals. They even threw in a tool for popping out your old seals. It is a handy little tool and a nice extra. As some of those seals can be a bear to get out. All in all a good deal if you are on a budget. Aren't we all these days?

A set of aluminum glad hands with color coded supply/emergency sides. They come with regular rubber seals plus two sets of colored silicone seals. Same quality as you would find in the truck stops but for a better price. They screw right into the airline. Recommended.

Nothing special about simple glad hands other than the fact that it's always great to have extras when you break one on the road. These are the same quality you'd expect from anywhere you bought them and they will do the job.

Headline is the review. The installation tractor is away, but I wanted to try them and, BTW, wanted to cover-off the air system of a static trailer. So I plumbed up some straight NPT bits and made the covers shown in the pics. They mated smoothly and evenly, just as you expect.Seems like a bargain and they seem 1st rate. I will return to this review if that that changes, but I am pretty sold on these.
