Manual Hydraulic A/C Hose Crimper Automotive A/C Hose Crimping Tools for BH Air Conditioning Hose & Beadlock A/C Fittings（IG-7842P)

Product is just what's in the description. Perfect for my work.

Excellent tool. Quick and easy to change dies and makes a sure and professional crimp. Super easy on the bench and compact enough for in vehicle use in many areas.

As title says! I was hopeful this would work for crimping more substantial steel jacket fittings for my pressure washer hoses. Sadly, no. Those fitting ferrules are longer, about 1.30” and these dies are just less than 1.00” in working length. I think the “8T” in chart is probably 8 tons, 16,000 psi pressure? Pretty nice tool & good price here $179. There are lots at higher price, a few lower. Glitch/drawback others have mentioned, no indication of which is “top” of box, 50/50 chance of opening it wrong half the stuff falls out. But just mark it.

Great value and good quality, saved me money on making ac hoses.

This product is slightly awkward to use due to weight, would probably have been better if I made a plate or secured the cylinder, but this product does work and work well. I had to make all of the A/C lines on an old car that didn’t have A/c from the factory. I used a commercial A/c machine to perform a proper vacuum test and ensure a proper charge and all of my crimps where good and zero leaks (thankfully). This product does crimp standard lines and reduced barrier lines so that is a plus.

The best price available! Used it to install vintage air conditioning on a 1971 Monte Carlo. Worked perfectly!
