I am replacing my oil filter relocation lines with stainless steel lines and also doing my oil drain. I need to run a -10 fittings on each of them and found something called the KOUL TOOL. Has anyone used this? I don't have a bench and the vise clamps to properly hold them and have just done the Black nylon fuel lines by hand, I couldn't do the same with the stainless lines.

 

get a cheap vise at harbor freight and this and you will be set

These are an absoulte bitch without the right tool, but i've managed to do stainless lines with a buddy.

 

I did my earls fittings and stainless -10 with duct tape and hacksaw no issues

 

I have them cut to proper size using a dremmel, so thats not the problem Its getting then into the fittings. They keep fraying out. Also like I said before, I have a vise, but I do not have a bench to clamp it down to.

Check out the Koul Tool video, looks like its the best thing to use and makes it super easy.

 

Did you tape them when you cut them?

 

Yup. They started fraying out when I oringally start pushing them into the fittings. They were fine before.

 

i always use eletrical tape, and a chop saw to get a clean cut, I now use aluminum jaws on my vice to hold the fitting and have the aluminum adjustable wrenches to tighten them down, use a little vasolene on the threads, it goes a long way and makes it a lot easier to tighten them all the way down, also if u plan on picking up the aluminum jaws, dont, go with the nylon or hard plastic ones instead, the koul tool isnt nessesary and are pretty expensive for what you are getting, a small block of plastic

 

Cool thanks for the reply. I just saw that my vice has the holder for the an fitting. I will see how it works.
