Hose Cutter and Barb Press

Works great. Made installation a breeze.

Works great made install much easier

As expected

I've installed a lot of brakes and new brake hoses in my life. I have never had a purpose-built tool for the job, though. I've always punched the barb in with a hammer and pliers to hold the hose.

This made things so much easier and sped things up. I am kicking myself for not buying this years ago.

Easily a top 3 tool purchase for a mechanic (shop or DIY).
