I spent some time talking with the Parker distributor here in my local area. He told me that the Parker mini crimp would not work due to the jacket wear on the outside of the hose. It has to be custom crimped on another machine because the new and worn specs obviously wouldn’t match. I think my new spec is .68 and worn is .62 so the crimp would not be within spec which could cause it to blow off or leak. I get all the comments about having new hose and replacing as needed. I do all that. Just wanted to explore the possibilities of a crimper. It’s looking less like a possible solution.
