What Is a Lightsaber Coupler?
A lightsaber coupler, sometimes called a staff coupler, is a small cylindrical device with openings at each end into which lightsaber hilts can be attached. Like most lightsaber accessories, they exist in numerous colors and subtypes. One of these subtypes is the quick release coupler.

This means the wielder has additional options for sparring with opponents or executing forms: They can make the transition from dual lightsabers to full-on Darth Maul saberstaff mode in just a moment or two.
How to Use an UltraSabers Quick Release Coupler
Because it has been designed to be activated in the heat of battle, the UltraSabers quick release coupler is extremely easy to use. To install a quick release coupler, just screw it onto the end of your hilt with your bare hand. From there, you can easily add another saber to the coupler to create a double bladed lightsaber or staff. You achieve this by pulling back the ring on the coupler, using your thumb and forefinger, to shift the ball bearings out of position and permit the attachment of another hilt. Once the hilt is attached properly, you release the ring so the ball bearings can lock into place.
Removing a hilt is a similar process. First, you pull back the ring, then yank the hilt out of the coupler. It’s that simple. with additional information about the UltraSabers quick release coupler.
Incidentally, alternating between staff and dual saber configurations has a firm precedent in the Star Wars universe. Sith assassin Asajj Ventress, best remembered for her participation in the Clone Wars, used her distinctive curved-hilt lightsabers in this fashion, joining and unjoining them as the occasion required.
