I found the best thing to do is to buy threaded fitting, that can be used over and over and just buy replacement hoses and screw on. I buy my fittings at surpluscenter.com. Cheapest place to buy them. You have to pay postage, But the postage is very reasonable, and their low prices, pay for the postage on small orders. It takes about a week to get the order delivered. Their products are quality.Can hydraulic hoses be crimped at home using a vise or something similar and dies? I would really like to crimp my own fittings on 1/4 one wire hydraulic hose. I looked but did not find an inexpensive way to do this. But with all the DIY knowledge on this site I am hoping someone here knows how to do this.
Thanks,
Eric
