I've bought stuff off of E bay, from Energy something, don't remember. Anodizing looked super great, but for some reason, all the surfaces were different sizes from what you would normally use. All metric. I found some purple fittings on AliExpress out of China, took 2 months to get my 90's, never got my straight fittings. Can't find anyone that made purple fittings. Will be going back to red/blue or black USA made stuff.

I'm really poor, but a.n. fitting is something I have yet to try and save money on. Use a good AMERICAN made fitting and you will see the difference I promise you. Its your money spend it as you wish, but I'll always use good fittings. Period.

And the obvious question: why do you need them, as opposed to high temperature, 3,000 psi hydraulic hose for 20% of the cost?
And the answer is... SHINY!!!

XRP is top shelf. I've used Aeroquip for years. Everyone has it and being able to get stuff quick matters. Earl's is also fine and they have some odd stuff that no one else has. Never heard of some of this stuff. I don't mix and match manufacturers for hose and ends, and I pay attention to IDs. And of course, the cheap, no name, eBay, off shore trash doesn't come in my door. Seen too much stupid stuff and failures. Not interested in burning a car to the ground over $10. There's a reason it's a quarter of the price.

If the results don't match the theory, change the theory.

I used Aeroquip for my fuel lines. I like to save a buck too but I also don't want to cheap out and have my car burn to the ground because of a cheap Chinese fitting made by Uncle Ho and his parts shop. I suppose you will want a Chinese fire extinguisher too?

I have been real happy with Fragola, if I need something quick the local speedshop has some fragile but mostly aeroquip, I have mixed and matched with no trouble.
