Hose making

Lease a BIGGER machine for free??
That's a crazy good deal!!! BUT with that said.." with the good comes the bad"..
Your probably gonna have a salesman "stopping by" OFTEN & you gotta put up w/ his BS for an hour!!!
Lol..
Theres ALOT of on-line companies to get fittings for your "smaller machine".. just search it..
Someone posted a link to a good one, awhile back.. you might be able to find it on THIS SITE by using the search function??
I'm not into hoses & fittings but I went to that site/link & was very impressed w/ it..

Yeah I'm thinking of sticking with my Karrycrimp for now, it's paid for and no strings attached. $2300 worth of hoses is what I changed for customers last year so it might be worth the additional investment in supplies, especially as my customer base grows.

I have used Gates for 40 years. The Mega Crimp is great for under 4000 PSI. JIC and Flat Face O ring female swivel end to start. Look at Gates M4k Mega Tuff hose. !/4" through 3/4" to start. You will need some jump size fittings to cover # 10 Jic and FFOR.

I'm not an independent as I work for a earthmoving contractor but I got a Parker hose crimp on my truck and it comes in very handy whether it pays for itself I don't know but like has been said they lease the machine for free if you buy enough fittings. The shop is 40 min from Parker store but I also can have the fitting dropped shipped right to the shop if I desire to. Zrupp whats your general locale if you don't mind saying.

Last year our Parker supplier had a deal where if you bought $3500 worth of hose and fittings, they would lease you a crimp machine for $1 dollar a year.
