1. A female coupling comprising: a female connection and a collar;wherein the female connection is used with a male connection of a cam and groove coupling;wherein the collar is formed with one or more hammer ears;wherein each of the one or more hammer ears is adapted to receive blows from a hammer;wherein the female connection further comprises a flow shaft and flow channel;wherein the flow shaft is adapted for use with a hose;wherein an outer diameter of the flow shaft is smaller than an inner diameter of the hose;wherein the flow shaft is further defined with an open end and a hose end;wherein the hose end of the flow shaft is inserted into the hose;wherein the flow shaft is a cylindrical pipe;wherein the collar secures the female connection to the male connection of a cam and groove coupling;wherein the collar is attached to the open end of the flow shaft;wherein the collar further comprises a flange having a terminal end face, the one or more hammer ears being located at the terminal end face of the flange, a first locking clamp, and a second locking clamp;wherein the flange is a ring with a hollow circular center;wherein a diameter of the hollow circular center of the flange is the same as an inner diameter of the flow shaft;wherein a center point of the flange is aligned with the flow shaft;wherein the flange further comprises a rim that projects away from the centerline of the flow shaft;wherein the first locking clamp is attached along an outer circumference of the flange;wherein the second locking clamp is attached to the outer circumference of the flange;wherein the first locking clamp attaches the female connection to the male connection of the cam and groove coupling;wherein the second locking clamp attaches the female connection to the male connection of the cam and groove coupling;wherein the first locking clamp further comprises a first notch, a first bar, and a first clamp arm;wherein the second locking clamp further comprises a second notch, a second bar, and a second clamp arm;wherein the first notch is an indentation formed into the outer circumference at the terminal end face of the flange;wherein the first bar attaches the first clamp arm to the flange;wherein the first bar is further defined with a first end and a second end;wherein the first end of the first bar is attached to a first notch surface formed when the first notch was formed;wherein the second end of the first bar is attached to the first notch surface;wherein the first bar is a pivot point around which the first clamp arm can rotate;wherein the second notch is an indentation formed into the outer circumference at the terminal end face of the flange;wherein the second bar attaches the second clamp arm to the flange;wherein the second bar is further defined with a third end and a fourth end;wherein the third end of the second bar is attached to a second notch surface formed when the second notch was formed;wherein the fourth end of the second bar is attached to the second notch surface; andwherein the second bar is a pivot point around which the second clamp arm can rotate. 2. The female coupling according to claim 1 wherein each of the one or more hammer ears projects away from the flange. 3. The female coupling according to claim 2 wherein each of the one or more hammer ears projects in a direction radial to the centerline of the flow shaft. 4. The female coupling according to claim 3 wherein each of the one or more hammer ears is formed in the shape of a semi-oval such that a circumference of the semi-oval extends beyond an outer diameter of the male connection. 5. The female coupling according to claim 4 wherein the one or more hammer ears further comprises a first hammer ear and a second hammer ear. 6. The female coupling according to claim 1 wherein each of the one or more hammer ears projects away from the flange;wherein each of the one or more hammer ears is formed in the shape of a semi-oval such that a circumference of the semi-oval extends beyond an outer diameter of the male connection;wherein any selected hammer ear from the one or more hammer ears is equidistant from the remaining hammer ears from the one or more hammer ears. 7. The female coupling according to claim 6 wherein the one or more hammer ears further comprises a first hammer ear and a second hammer ear.
