Excellent complement to the workshop. For what it's worth, the best "air" accessory I've ever put on my workshop, is a hose reel. Strategically placed where the hose as access to the full area of the workshop. It's a cheap Chinese made unit that as been on service for a few years now. Best investment ever for "air" stuff. Hose is always ready and never on the way. Got rid of all those hose rolls spread all over the place, never tripped on a hose again. ;-)
Good video....I've had this kit for years but could never get them to come out right and now I know the reason.....needless to say,I was over-crimping the first crimp....just did a splice on an air hose and finally,it came out right!...thanks for showing the right technique 👍
Awesome! I saw these online, but wasnt sure how effective it would be compared to the more expensive tool. I don't do enough to warrant the pricey machine, thanks for making this video.
My first reaction was to be all over this idea, it gives a professional look. Then I measured the outside diameter of my hoses, they differ a little because some hoses are silicone and others are old style. On reading some reviews on Amazon, readers note that you need to buy the ferrule to be a fairly exacting fit. So I'd be looking at buying an inventory of ferrules. I stumbled across an older style method of permanent clamping with stainless steel wire, and a device known as the Clamptite tool popped up. The nice thing about that is the way it is versatile, you don't need to buy ferrules, and it works on a multitude of other situations like garden hoses, etc. Or one could use the same kind of crimp clamps used for outdoor sprinkler installation and repair, which I already have.
Thank you, thank you, thank you so much for sharing this. Previously I always used a hose clamp and hate it. This is so much better. I'll be buying the crimper and ferrules for sure.
I watched & subscribed to a different video that really helped answer some questions I was having about painting a trailer. I was rewatching & decided to look at some of you’re other videos & found this video. I really appreciate this video. Keep up the good videos. I like your direct explanations. Thanks again!
There's an alternative to this. Not many people know about these, but they are the two-piece reusable screw-on air hose ends. They are all-brass do-dads I get from MSC. No tools, crimping, tape, ties, or pipe clamps are required, just a vise and few standard wrenches. There is an internally threaded sleeve that screws over the OD of the hose, then you screw a stem into that, which penetrates into the ID of the hose, and sandwiches the hose between it and the sleeve. There is a RUclips video on these. Search for "brass reusable fittings" by Dixon Valve.
I’m happy I just saw this video. It’s always been a pain using that tool, and I even spent more and bought the one McMastercarr sells, hoping it was better than the generic ones everywhere else, but nope! Same tool.
Did you fully crimp all other crimps? Only the first one not fully, wasn't clearly explained? Other than that, great video, loved all the camera angles like from the shop crane, 4-way split, etc. I also loved how you linked all the other videos as you were going along, see shop tables here's the link! Great idea, never seen it done that way. Thank you!!!
Good video. For decades I paid people to do things I have since learned to do myself. I had a transformer fry in my welder. Lincoln said no probs man. Then quoted a price I S Y not was ten bucks less than a new one. And the new one comes with all the toys. $168.85 later and boom. The $168.85? The cost of the wire to rewire the secondaries of the transformer.
I've been reading about crimp failure on hoses and one reason is that the crimp should be BEHIND a barb not perpendicular to the hose like the crimp tool you have.
I had one of these crimpers. A while ago I threw it into the scrap metal bin where it belongs. The crimps are ugly. If you have enough to do, I recommend investing in one of the hand-operated lever crimpers with interchangeable dies. $1000+ investment, but worth it for the professional crimps, especially if you are a perfectionist or suffer from OCD.
Almost no-one watching this video is crimping hoses professionally - if they are they already own a professional / industrial tool. This is clearly for the rest of us.
At 1:46 you suggest that you use a little bit of oil to ease the installation of the hose barb. When making up or repairing Oxygen hose this is a no no. Oil and pure Oxygen can catch fire and burn inside your hose until it burns the hose out. If you look at your Oxygen gauge it says the same thing. USE NO OIL.
Going to start. Thanks. Another tool I have to have. Lol. Really thanks only reason didn’t have my building Plumed for air is price of kits. Ouch hurt the pocket.
Hey Man, thanks for an awesome educational video. Do you think that kit and connections would be okay for a 2600psi water hose for a pressure washer? The hose max psi is 3100 but my machine max is 2600psi. Thanks from 🇦🇺
Hola mi buen amigo mi nombre es Nasser Reyes Castillo soy de Costa Rica CA quiero felicitarlo por tu vídeo está muy bueno ya que había visto varios sobre selladores de acoples de mangueras y lo más ideal es la herramienta que usted utilizo, tengo una pregunta dónde la compro para yo poder obtener una como esa, ya que estoy en un proyecto personal, gracias y saludos y como decimos por aquí PURA VIDA........
The crimper you have in the description is not the same one you're using. When you're using is almost hexagonal and the one on the link is just smooth.
You also might be interested in the threaded connections for gas hoses from Cigweld/Esab www.cigweld.com.au/product/hose-connection-kit-5mm-screw-type-5-8-18-unf-rh/ Totally reusable and only needs two spanners or crescent wrenches to attach and remove, although you might want a 5/8" UNF bolt for assembling the hose-ends on (rather than putting stresses on the gas fitting of your machine or gas regulator outlet). The UK version uses 1/4" BSP Right Hand Thread (which is also 5/8" external thread, but I don't know what threadform. Possibly "British Standard Fine" [BSF]) which appears very similar, but is *not* interchangeable.
extremely helpful, just made my first. However the fit was so tight i gave myself a blister pushing so hard. But it worked and now i have a great compressor hose.
I've been thinking about this for a while... wondering if you could do the crimping with a hose clamp... put a couple of dowels around the ferrule, then put the hose clamp around those, and tighten...

I realize this is an older video, but great job showing how it can be done. Do you know if you can do the same with garden water hoses as well? Thumbs Up!
For garden hoses you might able to get away with those stainless steel single side crimp pex/poly pipe crimp rings Of a size that slides over the hose but still allows it to crimp down. If they do work I would recommend doing two per end with the pinches offset of each other.
Nice, learn something new everyday. been looking for 13mm internal hose of a specific length which is impossible less than 10m and stupid money. What psi rating for those fittings or is it dependant on the hose. Also would 150psi hose be okay for my 145psi compressor or is that cutting it a bit fine as was looking at fuel line hose ( 20bar max) which is considerable cheaper. thanks in advance. Oh meant to say I'm after 1/2 inch stuff to feed vapour blasting cabinet.
Hey, trying to fix a propane hose (would pics help) and it brought me to your video. It's a propane hose that connects to the (tanks 100#) and to the Tee to the portable generator. No one in town will touch it... Idk why??? And I don't wanna spend another 55$ for a 25' hose. (When there's a 6 inch section that got melted by exhaust) will this work safely? For what I need?? Thanks
I’m not 100% sure but I believe that the outside diameter of 3/16 oxy/acetylene hose is close to the same OD as most 1/4 inch air hoses and these crimpers should work with the 3/16 crimp sleeves on the smaller size of the crimping tool. You might have to crimp more times than in this video.
This could be a Godsend, is this method appropriate or safe to use with braided LPG propane hose? If not, because perhaps the braid could hinder the seal, would it be a safe option if one were to remove a section of braid at the end where it is crimped? I wouldn't be worried about the braid fraying in this case, as I could simply tidy that up with a small length of heat shrink. Many thanks in advance for any replies, and thank you for the upload!
KumaBean I personally have made a couple of propane hoses for my welding equipment with standard black rubber propane hose and used these same crimpers and they seem to work perfectly fine but if you’re talking about the braided stainless hose I don’t think it would work. Also Always check for leaks!
I bought an old Aeroquip setup at a liquidation auction for around 2200 with some dies and fittings, I've made that back tenfold in the first year. But hydraulic hose is expensive as hell, I don't offer too many options, just the high end of the working pressure and -8 hose is 2000 bucks for 200 feet I believe, I haven't reupped in a while and fittings ain't exactly cheap either so figure 10 bucks a foot for a 1/2 id hose and around 15 a piece or more depending on the fitting style. I don't beat people up but I get calls to make hoses at 2am sometimes during snowstorms so people usually don't mind paying a bit extra.
Hi I want to know whether you need to press the tool with hard enough press? I wish the plier can have some sort of extension for weak people.. I am considering to buy this tool but didn't know whether it ll work
