Ok here goes,

compressor needs a female fitting
hose end (a) needs a male fitting
hose end (b) needs a female fitting
tool needs a male fitting

Hope that's clear :?

Cheers,

It's good practice to fit a short piece of hose between the tool and the air connector, so that the connectors are not damaged by vibration or twisted while using the tool.
