We are wanting to put a hydraulic hose crimper, some hose and fittings in our shop at the farm. It seems like we always need hoses fixed at the most inconvenient times.
Do any of you have experience with Gates Crimpers? I am looking at a Gates Crimper but was told that you can't crimp certain fittings with a gates machine. I haven't made up hoses before so I am looking for some pointers. I was told it would be better to get a Weatherhead crimper because it will crimp any brand of fitting. Can you only crimp certain brand fittings with certain makes of crimpers?
Thanks.
