I didn't mean that the way you read it at all. I was merely saying that I doubt you'll see a difference from the sizing of the fittings based on the amount of pressure being used. Then I tossed in the mention of the buddy and his HF compressor requiring oil in case you had that one and didn't read up. That way you wouldn't seize it based on being like me and not reading all the directions that come with a tool.

Had I wanted to be a dick, it would be very clear and dickish.

I didn't mention how you need serious hearing protection when using the compressor my buddy had enough though it was not considered oilless. As for being able to afford nice stuff, yeah as you work your way through life you'll likely get sick of breaking something and buying a different part. Personally I didn't buy more than 3 snap on swivel sockets because of the price vs quality of other tools I could buy. I actually got rid of a set of shallow snap on sockets and picked up craftsman. Reason.... ease of replacement if one broke.

Sorry if you read it the wrong way, this is one of those times where tone and inflection isn't obvious... or maybe I am a dick, I've had my moments.
