I took my new tool carts cardboard box off but I can't assemble it due to my shoulder so now I'll just look at it. I did get some socket organizers.

My HF was out of all of the colors. I want to set up a 12v electrical box.

The socket organizers, are great easy to grab and replace sockets. My only complaint is if the sockets are dirty, esp the deep, the post get greasy and you can't read the numbers.
After a while If you don't rearrange the racks you get used to where the sockets are and don't need the numbers

When my dad died he left me a bunch of sk tools and a lot of sockets, I don't use them must diento their age, I just want a nice place to put them and eventually fill in the missing ones with more sk sockets. I'm pretty good about keeping my tools clean. But I understand getting dirty. The 1/2 drive organizer is just over 3 1/2 inches tall.

Not new but I was just using the Koul Tools AN fitting devices.

https://koultools.com/product/an-hose-assembly-tool/

They make doing AN hose ends super easy. I was putting together an end with the factory cut steel braided hose. The ends were pretty frayed and I thought there was no way I would get the started. Gave them a try and worked like a charm.

You can buy them individually. I only have a -6 size since that's the size I use by far the most frequently.

I just use soft hex jaws in the vice, works really well. I also use a large cable cutter, cuts the hose in 1 second with almost no fraying. Has replaceable head but I haven't had to replace it yet. I've found if you cut it with that right before you insert the threaded collar, it's easy peasy. I used to put masking tape on the cut sometimes, but I feel like removing the tape makes it worse than without. And with these cutters, the fraying is almost non existent. If you cut with a hack saw it sucks. A cutoff disc works well with tape, but it leaves dust all over inside the hose. This is clean, fast, and little fraying.

I use a hand held, channel locks size, version of those cutters.
I never wanted to mess with AN because of horror stories. Then when I did my burb I thought it was super easy. Made me wonder where all the stories came from lol.

 

[mrk5]

I noticed the same thing with removing the tape making the braided ends even more frayed, but with the Koul Tool, it doesn't matter. I'll have to check out the cable cutters, because I haven't been happy with the results from using the other cutting methods.

 

[folkenheath]

Every other method I've tried stinks once you use those cutters. Not going back to a hacksaw or abrasive cutoff wheel, those make it too easy.

I really like the black braided hose from Fragola, black nylon on the outside is subtle, lighter, and doesn't scratch everything it touches, but braided stainless layer on the inside makes it strong.

Is that the stuff I got from you? I really like it as well, makes it really clean.

I wonder if that would handle hydraulic hoses as well.

Yes, yes they will
