ACT Quick Lock Connection

Quick Lock Connection provides a fast safe and strong method of attaching and releasing tools by hand. The male half is mated with the female half, then rotated through 90 deg. Whereon a spring loaded spade in the female section engages a slot in the male section and locks the assembly in place. It is released by pushing upon the spring and rotating again through 90 deg. It eliminates the chance of items backing off and does away with the need for pipe wrenches.
