I think this is a good idea on the face of it, nothing I hate more than having a coupler come loose while using it. It doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's usually followed by a bunch of swearing because even if it didn't smack into someone, or something, the noise is enough to startle the bejezus out of anybody!

It's the newly installed flooring, walls, trim, whatever that I'm worried about damaging... I’m not usually concerned about damaging the coupler.
