That thing, do you guys know of a little tool we can carry in our pocket to release the pressure on our quick connect when a valve accidentally gets opened and no tool is connected.

Sometimes there is so much resistance I can't slam a male quick connect in it and have to go to the truck to turn the pressure down. Major pain in the butt...

I dont carry a little tool, i carry a male quick connect fitting. If you can't pop the female open under"normal"pressure (300-500psi) you have one of 2 things working against you (or both) first a leaky/ weeping valve. Second cheap ass Chinese quick connects. If the valve is still weeping when turned off, if possible with an allen wrench, tighten seat around the ball if not replace the valve with one that you can. Even then if the valve is on under pressure and you turn it off and try to poumd the quick connect in it still might not go if your using cheap ass quick connects. I use foster quick connects and most the time i can still tap the male in on the sidewalk with the valve open and connect 2 hoses together while one is still under pressure. So in conclusion get yourself a Mikey's valve(the one with an on/ off not the round knob one) and while you're shopping if you don't have um already pickup a few sets of good quality quick connects and your problem will disappear

He said "accidentally opened it" We have all done it no matter the valve.
Usually you can flip the wand upside down and while squeezing the trigger force it on unless you are running extremely high pressure.
Another trick it to take a small blunt object and rap it with something against the shut off cone.

There is no tool
There, I got to the point without 10,000 words nor any BS

I appreciate your being so straightforward.

But, there is a tool. I saw it with my own eyes down at the last supply store I was at. The owner even tried selling me one. It's a magical little pocket pressure popper thingy.

It helps to open the valve all the way too.

It was probably on the same shelf as a left handed smoke turner, bacon stretcher and a high volume cooperarer to the throttle waddle for a ducks ass. If you got an extra 70bucks laying around, ill sell ya something you can really use. A right hand metric crescent wrench ( add 10.00 for left hand version)

Whatever you find it will be in the van when you need it because you will get tired of carrying it and not needing it.

Its the law.

I saw the tool. I just throw a male quick connect in my pocket. Shove it in and smack it on the ground.
