Poppet-style couplers have been around a long time they are strong, reliable cost-effective with minimal moving parts and a lot of manufacturers have their own take on the design to make them durable and reliable.

3:50 How and Where are ENGMATTEC Flat Face Couplers Used
Quick-connect couplers are used together with Hydraulic attachments, there are numerous designs and sizes and are designed for many types of equipment.
For example, Buckets, Augers, Rock Breakers and Trenchers for Bobcat Skid steer loaders, all makes of Excavator and Backhoes,
Quick connect couplers are used on prime movers, semi-trailers and tippers,
Forklifts use couplers when using attachments such as grabs and rotators.
Portable hydraulic power packs use couplers for attaching to press tools used for pushing and punching and pulling tools
Stump grinders, log splitters, concrete cutters, water blasting and jetting, and equipment all need quick-connect couplers
Quick connect hydraulic couplers are frequently used when a machine operator wants to quickly, neatly and without tools or major oil leaks connect or disconnect a high-pressure hydraulic oil supply and return to an attachment.
Eaton's version of poppet coupler is in our opinion probably one of the most durable we have used especially in hammer/rock breaker applications where high-pressure pulses are experienced.
The disadvantages are that they can disconnect if accidentally bumped or knocked from a certain direction and upon disconnect, they also discharge a fair amount of oil causing a mess and environmental pollution.
On reconnect, they can introduce a small amount of Air which could cause some minor issues to attachments that require accuracy.
Another disadvantage is that on reconnect if the couplers aren't kept clean, contamination can be introduced into the hydraulic circuit causing damage and premature wear.
Stucchi has a clever animation that explains this issue very well.

• Stucchi Quick Coupling...
Flat face coupler design was invented by Massimo Arosio in Italy and first patented by Italian Company Faster SrI. in July of 2001.
The design and componentry of this coupler from an engineering point of view is really clever and quite technical.
The main features of this coupling are as follows
1. A flat clean face so no contamination or air can be introduced
2. Minimal oil leakage on discharge (less than 0.15 ml.
Virtually a Dry Break.
3. Rated to 350 bar working pressure (5100 psi)
3. Lockable release sleeve prevents accidental disconnect if knocked.
4. Good for High-pressure pulse Applications such as Hammer circuits
5. Suitable Construction and mobile equipment, general industrial, mining and agricultural industries
(Two years ago we introduced our new and improved version with heat-treated and hardened parts and easy one-hand connection. THE ENGMATTEC coupler is Interchangeable with all other ISO 16028 Flat face couplers manufactured and these parts are still out there performing well.
6. 4:1 Safety Factor.
7. Industry Interchangeability - mates with other manufacturers' ISO 16028 couplings such as Faster, Cejn x62, Hansen Qa2900, and Parker FE/FF/FEM series, DNP .
