 Thoughts:
I feel like the tools are around all around 50% more powerful. Milton claim 70% more air flow and the math/dimensions seam to add up. I did tear down the couplers and they have far larger holes than a standard coupler as well. I opted not to buy the Harbor Freight Merlin High Flow, because upon closer inspection they seem very crappy(technical term) and in this case they were more ($10 for 4pcs) than the top of the line Milton($20 for 14pcs).


I have drilled out M fittings in the past but didn't feel any improvement as you can only go a tiny bit. I have also done the same inside the M coupler but you can't do much in those without compromising the integrity. The standard M fittings has a hole with the surface area of .031sqaure inches; where the V style are .071 square inches. Drilling may get you up to .040 but the V style still flows twice the air.
