X64v Posted October 24, 2009 Share Posted October 24, 2009 I like using Earl's 'Super Stock' AN hose ends with Aeroquip knurled push-on hose. The hose ends come with super-thin aluminum crimp collars to crimp the hose on the ends (though they're not required for use, the hoses will hold 250psi without weeping with no crimp collar). I'd like to make use of the crimp collars as I've been told it's good practice, but I make new lines so rarely I can't justify the huge expense for an actual hose crimper. Does anyone know of any dies I can just use with my vice, and/or some way of crimping them myself for little cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
