A common issue when connecting any quick-connect hydraulic coupler is that line pressure can build up, making connecting the couplers seemingly impossible. The XBoom Coupler® QC-Mate(TM) quickly and safely addresses that issue.
The QC Mate uses special shaped clamp jaws (13-ga steel tubing with large structural side gussets) that mount to a ratcheting hand clamp, providing powerful 600 lb clamping force. The Coupler Clamp is available in both 12" and 18" spacing to accommodate the various machines types and styles of hydraulic blocks and couplers. It is compatible with all standard Flat-Face Hydraulic Couplers and Ag Style Hydraulic Couplers within the listed sizes; 1/2" = .87"3/4" = 1.06"7/8" = 1.18".

Will This Fit My Machine?
This tool is compatible with ALL standard 1/2", 3/4", and 7/8" NPT nipples and fittings that attach to the back-side of Flat-Face and Ag Style Hydraulic Couplers. However, the Clamp Jaws will need to engage the back-side of each coupler. Therefore, this device MAY not be compatible with some “Hydraulic Blocks” where access to both sides of the circuit are not accessible (this is the case with many Kubota and Cat skid steers and CTLs). Also, you will need to pre-measure your longest connection point distance (the spread) to determine whether you'll want the 12" or 18" clamp option. For the jaws to engage, you have to have access to the flat surfaces on the back of the couplers and a “shared center-line” for the clamp to align correctly.
