This is a nice idea.  One thought, though, is it really necessary to
have two holes?  I would think that one hole is enough if one use a T
junction like this:

  compressor---+---application

Or will this setup halt the air flow?  (Halting the air flow may be a
good idea, BTW, as I find that when using an air tank, I have almost no
fine control of the cylinders.)  What do you think?
