Forney Shop Supplies, Air Fittings, and Wire Wheels
Forney makes the small parts that keep a welding bay and service shop running. Best sellers here include an Argon/CO2 regulator kit, men's russet leather welding gloves, replacement flints for a single-flint striker, and replacement cutters for a bench grinding wheel dresser. The line also covers air fittings: quick couplers and plugs in 1/4 in. and 3/8 in. NPT, an air swivel, a full size filter, a blowgun, and a spray gun. Pressure washer nozzles, crimped and stringer bead wire wheels, and a scratch brush round it out.
What to Look For
- Thread size and gender. Match MNPT or FNPT and 1/4 in. or 3/8 in. to the hose and tool you are connecting.
- Coupler style. Forney lists Industrial/Milton style couplers. Plugs and couplers must share the same style to connect.
- Wire wheel fit. Check the arbor or shank: 5/8"-11 arbor, M10 thread, or 1/4" hex shank.
- Nozzle angle. Pressure washer nozzles run from 0 to 40 degrees. Narrow angles cut grime; wide angles rinse.

Forney FAQ
Which wire wheel should I buy?
Crimped wheels flex and clean light rust and paint. Stringer bead (knotted) wheels hit harder and clean weld seams between passes. Use the hex shank wheel in a drill and the arbor wheels on a grinder.
Will Forney couplers fit my existing hose?
They fit when the coupler style and thread match. The Forney Industrial/Milton couplers mate with Industrial/Milton plugs. Mixing styles will not seal.
