Best Pneumatic Quick Connects ?
#3
Same for me, if I'm putting any kind of quick connects in a semi-permanent location to make for easier gear or valve removal, I like Festo push connectors. At wing joints that are frequently disconnected if I can't make BVM EZ-air connectors work, I have never had a problem myself with the Robart twist lock connectors. I don't like the aggravation of the pictured style that requires multiple turns while I'm precariously balancing a wing and trying to hook things up at the same time.

I use BVM's connectors. They are kind of a pain to fasten and unfasten. But, I have had a Robart connector fail to engage properly. When I retracted the gear, all the air escaped and then the giant p-40 cart-wheeled on the resulting belly landing. Basically I hate air operated gear But I have been stuck with it on the two BVM planes.

BVM mostly uses very small air lines. The smaller the line, the less air used for an actuation = more actuations and less weight.

I use Luer Lock connectors, a medical air line connector which has been available for model use from various hobby suppliers over the years.

Easy to grip with fat sausage fingers, no O rings to perish, light, available in different colours, never had any problems.
Last lot I bought from KMRC Jets.

Was happy with these for years until an O ring split, fortunately during a pre flight, leaving me stuck for the day.
Lesson learnt, pack a couple fresh spares if continuing to use them.
