I have almost always struggled with hydraulic couplers when switching between quick-connect implements on my loader despite being mindful of relieving pressure and such. Also, two of my couplers failed when they refused to uncouple due to loose or stuck ball bearings that locks the couplers together even after removing them from the hoses. After some searching, I found & tried these and I LOVE them! Hasn’t anyone tried them? I could connect & disconnect under pressure and they are easy to keep clean!

Why hasn’t anyone mentioned anything about them?

I took a short video coupling the fittings together to itself while the grapple was clearly under pressure.

Those look cool. It looks like a standard and there's a lot of manufacturers.
The largest 3/8" size is rated for 6 gpm. So they'd be good for something like a grapple which does not need full system flow.

Those look similar to my Enerpac high pressure couplers. They can safely connect under full pressure. However they are low flow. Might fit your application. I like the plastic or metal caps that keep the ends clean. Prefer flat face connectors on tractors.

neat, I wonder if those faster connectors would be cheaper that the various manufacturer's options.
