Mr Jimi (I believe it was) went to buy a used one and it had the lower holes ripped out. Glad to here this one has additional clamps. I'm sure it also depends alot on how its made/used.As for the flat couplers, keeping them clean is the big advantage. The do wear out and I know of  no way of fixing them. Some of the fellows on ebay  will sell them  for $45 a set  if you buy 5 sets at a time. Ocasionally the bidding goes that low on one set. They can be vary hard to get together if they have hyd pressure behind them. The one on ebay have a 1/2" npt thread for the hose, the only place I know to get the #12 orb is from the dealer and they are 75 to |$80Ken</blockquote>
