Hydraulic Hose Crimper with 8 Sets of Dies High Pressure Hose Crimping Handheld Hydraulic Hose Crimping Tool

This thing has already paid for itself. it's not super-fast and takes some arm strength but the crimps look just as good as the lines I've had made at the local hydraulic shop. There is a bit of learning to it, and I suggest you plan to have a couple practice hoses maybe out of some scraps or old used lines just to get the hang of it.

Needs better instructions in English. I wish I could tell how much pressure for different hoses. Could you please put up a photo in the listing how much pressure for various size hoses and fittings. We have used it successfully for crimping battery cables.

It was broke I am returning

Thank you this is really going to work well for me

Expensive but does the job, big complaint is that all the die's are packed into the little drawer and took over an hour using a pick to get them positioned so that the drawer could be opened. Almost gave up and sent it back.

1) The light would not work. I had to modify the bracket by filing a notch in it so it could swing over in line with the adjusting nut.2) the adjusting nut was set wrong, after switch was aligned it only lit when turned in to the last setting and crimper was fully compressed. I had to adjust it out about 1/2 inch to get it to light thru the whole range.3) either the pressure gage is broken or a relief valve i have not found is set low. I never build any pressure.I can crimp now, but i am not sure it is right.4) i now have to mage gage blocks to know where to set the adjustment screw for 4 different diameters. I would return but i need it to crimp hoses, which it does. It is just a pain to have to repair and make calibration rods.

Performs exactly as advertised and easy to use.

Returned this item due to it not being able to crimp as large of a hose as it claims. small jobs may be ok, but its not worth the money
