I like the quicklock adapter. It feels more secure, faster to set up, and faster to tear down.
Just to make sure we're talking about the same tips/adapters, these are the part numbers from the archive:
If you have the 1/4" male thread tip, the adapters you want to get to the 5/8" male threaded tip are:
Model | Starting Thread | Ending Thread
3111 | 1/4"F | 3/8"M
3366 | 3/8"F | 5/8"M
If you have the 5/8" male stud tip, the adapters you want to get to the 5/8" male threaded tip are:
Model | Starting Thread | Ending Thread
3102 | 5/8" F stud | 3/8" M thread
3366 | 3/8"F | 5/8"M
