I use exclusively Milton t-Style, switched to them decades ago. But I
admit the only reason I did was that a auto body guy I knew quite well
was retiring and gave me some air tools of his and that is what they had
on them, since I had only one air tool and he gave me quite a few it
made sense to switch and also that way I could go into the shop and use
my tools in the shop when I needed a few extra dollars after school.
I have never had any leak EXCEPT the Harbor Fright ones

A gun is like a parachute, if you need one but don't have it,
you'll probably never need one again.
