There are many variations in the design of quick couplers. The initial divergence is between those that can pick up any of a range of buckets and attachments by clamping onto the mounting pins for the attachment (known as "pin grabbers" or "pin couplers") and those that work only with buckets and attachments designed to suit that quick coupler (known as "dedicated").

This is called "sweating a ...

It serves the same purpose as the taut-line hitch, e.g. tensioning a tent's guy line.
