The ends, crimps and pliers for crimping are all available at the welding supply. Likely they'll even crimp the ends for you if you take the hose in. I made my own crimper years ago with two pieces of 1" square stock. A couple of holes for pins to guide the two pieces together…

Guy gave me a nice piece of A/O hose, about 50 feet long, but a couple ends are missing. They butchered it up for something or another and this was the mother piece. Can I get "do it yourself" replacement ends..or are they all swage on's?


3/8" Goodyear red/green hose..hate to not use it..mine are only 25' and getting past "tired" into the "hummmm" stage

A couple of holes for pins to guide the two pieces together and then a couple of different sized holes at the joint where the two pieces clamp together. It gets used in a vise.

Of course you can get the ends. See

I'd love to find a less expensive online source for Western Enterprises stuff.
