A non-spill, multi-line fluid connector includes a first part and a second part adapted to be removably connected to the first part. Each of the first part and the second part includes a plurality of fluid channels that each connect to a corresponding fluid channel of the other part without fluid spillage. The fluid channels in each part can be arranged concentrically, which enables the parts to be rotated relative to each other while maintaining the fluid connections. One part can be incorporated into a latch pin of a tool coupler, and the other part can be incorporated into a latch bracket attached to a hydraulically operated tool, wherein the latch bracket receives the latch pin to lock the tool to the tool coupler and to establish one or more hydraulic connections to the hydraulic tool.

[What is claimed is:] [1.]the first part comprising first and second fluid channels extending within the first part from respective first and second end seals at the distal end and coupling to respective first and second fluid ports, the end seals of the first part closing off the first and second fluid channels of the first part when the first part and the second part are disconnected, andthe second part comprising first and second fluid channels extending within the second part from respective first and second end seals at the proximal end and coupling to respective first and second fluid ports, the end seals of the second part closing off the first and second fluid channels of the second part when the first part and the second part are disconnected, wherein connecting the first part and the second part connects the first fluid channels of the first and second parts and also connects the second fluid channels of the first and second parts.
