[QUOTE="RodNH, post: 39618, member: 4512"] I tend to switch between snowblower and power angle snowplow on my skid. I find that the quickcouplers are almost always frozen - when the temperature is well below freezing - and I need to use a heat gun to couple or uncouple. I have tried squirting WD-40 in the annular space between the sleeve and the body but that doesn't seem to do the trick. I am thinking of trying some Fluid Film® but I am concerned that since that stuff never dries out, any dust during summer use could combine with the fluid film and gum things up a bit. How does anyone else deal with frozen flat-faced quick couplers? [/QUOTE]
