Good stuff, watch and learn something unusual. It works great and doesn't make a mess! They have additional braided line assembly tutorials available too. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1J7u8sG118&feature=related 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda #'s 440-6(block in storage)currently 493" 6 pack, Shaker, 5 speed Passon, 4.10's 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible 408 Magnum EFI with 4 speed automatic overdrive, 3800 stall lock-up converter and 4.30's (closest thing to an automatic 5 speed going)

Its a great tool and never had an ounce of trouble with it!

Thanks for the help. Keeping it CLEAN & CRISP is the main benefit of doing it this way. There is virtually no particle contamination introduced into the lines. The braid stays intact nicely, and the price of the tools is right too. 1970 Plymouth 'Cuda #'s 440-6(block in storage)currently 493" 6 pack, Shaker, 5 speed Passon, 4.10's 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible 408 Magnum EFI with 4 speed automatic overdrive, 3800 stall lock-up converter and 4.30's (closest thing to an automatic 5 speed going)
