Got a universal D100S crimper, and stocking up on hose and fittings and a drawer cabinet
I have a parker distribution warehouse/assembler within 15 minutes of me. They have EVERYTHING.
Prices are also 300% of online distributers. But if I need something now, its there.
So pricing around on consumables to stock in the shop.
I really like parker TC hose, it is has a smooth bonded exterior that slides right into tight spots and into nylon hose sheathing.
What all brands do you know of that have similar surface hose? See attached picture.
I also like parker's fittings, the swivel nuts use a smaller wrench.
Thinking about stocking these fittings https://www.discounthydraulichose.com/parker-71-series-fittings.html
crimp specs should be the same as parker. But they don't have a huge selection of them. Open to suggestions of comparable one piece fittings that use smaller wrenches (than gates/weatherhead etc)
