Default Slightly off-topic - Hydraulic hose crimping

Buying all the dies might cost you as much as NAPA, but if you can fab
most of them and use them in a 10k portapower or beefier press, you
might be spending a whole lot less money. Then again, trial and error
will cost you, too. Why not pick another pair and try to fab dies for
whatever press you have? That's probably the way to go, if you have
unlimited time and limited money.


I might consider buying the official dies I needed and fabbing the rest
of the setup to use in a regular hydraulic H press.
