She's a Hoser

Today I learned how to make special application hose. First, you cut the hose to the needed length and then you place the cut end into the measuring device and make a mark to show where the fitting should be placed. Next, you lubricate the end of the hose and you attach the fitting. After that, you place the die and the ring into the crimper and insert the hose, fitting affixed end up. You'll then pull the lever to apply pressure to crimp the fitting into the house. Finally, use the digital calipers to measure the fitting and compare it to the specified size chart glued to the side of the crimper.
