I started the changeover yesterday, since my TOP expired and I can't drive 707 until January. One line remained the same but I wanted to change out the hose ends (from red/blue to black anodized). The used ends of the hose were as used ends usually are - pinched, braid fraying out, etc.

As I have *never* been able to assemble braided lines without much sweat, blood, cut fingers, and paint-peeling cussing, I was happy to drop $30 on a #10 Koul Tool for this job.

All I can say is that the damn thing is worth its weight in gilded platinum. I had more trouble pulling the old hose collars off than threading the used hose into the new collars. All hail Koul Tools!
