I would trust the crimper more at the hydraulic shop than something you got off Amazon/ebay. If it doesn't crimp it tight enough and leaks is it a waste of time then?


That tool will do the job as well as any hydraulic shops tools. Having the tool allows you to be able to make necessary fitment of the line. To many times I have had lines done and then installing you wish they were just a little longer a little shorter or turned a few degrees left or right. I put the fitting on one end then fit the hose. Cut it, slide the end on and recheck fitment. Then do the final crimp. My tool has been paid for 3 times over with tips and beer helping other friends.
