I am looking to replace all of my quick disconnect couplers on my air compressor lines. Currently I have uncommon schrader type that are leaking. Does anyone have a recommendation on what style I should buy for home use?

Get either the Tru Flate or Milton style couplers as they are available almost everywhere. Try and get the US brands (Milton, Parker) because the will last longer than the chinese stuff from Lowes and Home Depot.

I swapped everything in my shop to Milto V-style connections and noticed a marked improvment. Best price I could find was amazon THIS (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001O2ZGQ6/ref=oh_o05_s01_i00_details) includes 2 couplers along with 2 female and 2 male tool fittings.
Couplers accept "M" and "A" style tool fittings also, which is nice if you borrow a tool or need to use one out of the box and don't feel like swapping fittings right away.

Prevost are the best. One button release and the tool just snaps in. They also have an o-ring to prevent leaks.
