HYDROCRIMP's HC-P16MP Hose Crimper Replaces a $10.50 Assembly Fee

Discount Hydraulic Hose prices a hydraulic hose in three pieces: $3.72 a foot for the hose, $6.24 an end, and $10.50 to crimp them together.

That $10.50 is the whole job the machine does. At $1,199, the HC-P16MP is 115 of them.

Against a finished $84.95 hose it looks like 23 — but $43.37 of that gap is parts markup, not crimping.
