Anyone have a recommendation on equipment to make hydraulic hoses?

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.

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.
