Default CO2 Quick Disconnects?

Does anyone have any experience with or ideas about using air type quick disconnects on their keg couplers CO side? Is this a good idea, or will there be too much leakage, maybe to much hassle? I would like to simplify pulling the coupler and the beer line for cleaning. I'm already using the wing type nuts for the beer lines, which work out nicely.

I would avoid the quick disconnects.I use them on my air compressor and they have a tendency to leak air a bit. I just use an adjustable wrench and im finished.

I use quick disconnects on my portable setups and they do tend to leak (a little). I like the convenience. I have them on my regulators and all my co2 lines. If this is a permanent setup you could try it but you have to check for leaks often.
