Re: Doing your own crimping of A/C lines

I've got the Eastwood flair tool but don't have the 37 degree dies as of yet. I do have a friend who is a Parker hose dealer who can do special hoses or ends for me pretty reasonable so that is how I will go at it. I can justify the cost of the tool an 45 degree dies as I have a lot of brake and fuel line work to do but haven't put the aircraft style fittings on anything I have ever had as of yet.

77 C 30 dualie, 454, 4 speed with a 10 foot flatbed and hoist. It does the heavy work and hauls the projects around.
