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

Got this crimper to make my own hydraulic hoses using crimp on fittings but have used it for garden hose repair (with correct ferrules) and compressing pipe onto rod and other uses. Very flexible - has magnetic dies that are easy to change. My crimper shipped with 7 instead of 8 dies (30mm was missing), but seller has been good to work with and is shipping missing die to correct order. Pump works well - seems to be 2 stage - thinking about adding a pressure gauge at some point, but that's not needed for usage of the crimper. Takes a little practice to get the crimps to correct spec using the built in gauge and did not come with instructions or user manual, so you need to have some knowledge about how to use from elsewhere (YT is a good resource). Overall, happy with purchase! Read more

The media could not be loaded. The package arrived pretty quickly. It does come in a sturdy wood-crate instead of a regular paperbox, so i decided to take a video of the product showing how to get this open, you just need a hammer and a screw driver easily without breaking the packaging. I bought this crimper to make my own hydraulic hoses for my other gadgets in my workshop. i use 2-3 times per month. Compared to buying from lines company, this could quickly pay for itself in not too long time and it comes with dies with different size, so it is flexible. Just bear in mind, you do need to maintain it before each time you use it. Just put in some #46 hydraulic oil and this could be puchased from your local Homedepot or Lowe's. All in all, i am happy with what i paid for. Read more

So far so good. Need to get your own #46 hydraulic fluid. Takes lots of pumping. Be nice to have a pressure gauge (you start to wonder after the 300th pump). Crimps turn out rather perfect. Wish I had bought one years ago. Read more

I farm. I have many times where we blow hydraulic hoses and the hose is fine it simply got pinched and damaged. That’s where this comes in. I can bring it right to the machine. Cut the end off and then crimp on a new end to make a splice or add in another piece. I have used it on my sprayer, cultivator and many other pieces of equipment and works really well. I have also found that it’s not limited like some crimpers because the dies are adjustable. You can typically look up the crimp spec of any brand of fitting and get it down to the right diameter and if for some reason you need to go a little more or less depending on maybe not a perfect fit for the hose you can make that adjustment. Set the micrometer to where it is and then now it is repeatable. I have taken the time and simply written the crimp dies and the micrometer setting on the compartment where I keep my individual fittings so I can repeat the crimp in the future. Only real issue it is a lot of strokes to sometimes complete a crimp. But the benefit of not needing power or something else on the service truck well exceeds this. Read more

I got this to avoid going to the hydraulic shop for hoses. Last time I went they wanted hundreds of dollars to do one lousy hose. Now I can take hoses taken off old machines, cut them to length and put the fittings that I need on without having to leave the jobsite. The instructions are pretty worthless, but watch a few youtube videos and take your time to get a solid connection. Once the tube shows a tiny bit of bulge next to the crimp, you know you are good to go.. too little pressure and it will blow apart, too much with a big bulge on the tube and it will damage the hose itself and will fail soon enough. The machine does allow you to easily stop part way and pull out the fitting to check it. Once you have the right pressure dialed in, you can adjust the stop sensor and a light will come on to let you know you are at the correct pressure. Read more

Make sure you test it before the return window closes. I almost missed it by one day. Would not realease the piston fully and open to remove fitting. Ordered another from different seller and it had pump problem. When they work you can't beat what these presses do but quality is obviously lacking. Read more
