Be sure to make sure the one you decide to purchase will crimp the series of hose that you need for the machines. For example a hose that has the pressure rating for the machines. Some of the smaller/portable units do have some limitations in this area. I have a Parker Parkrimp and it works great. I have only used the genuine Parker hose, although there are other manufacturers that are saying their hose is compatible. Also, as far as the fittings, I have used some of the Parker compatible fittings, but again I like to stay with Parker. I have not had a single issue with these Chinese fittings that are compatible. The reason I purchased the unit I have is because of its portability. If a hose blows on the road somewhere, the new hose can be made onsite.I purchased all of these compatible fittings here:They are also selling machines that are said to crimp different brands of fitting/hose. Personally, this is foreign to me. I have always told that you need the same brand machine, hose, fittings for a problem free crimp. With new technology, perhaps it is possible tho.
