I purchased this for a one off job to replace my brake hoses, on one bike, and install new ones on my new bike. Both the cutter, and insertion tool worked flawlessly. Whilst I don't need to use it regularly for the "occasional use" and home bike mechanic. Its exactly what is required.

The barb driver worked perfectly. It grips the hose tightly and the needle pushes in the barb perfectly in seconds. If anything, this tool is overbuilt, very solid and well machined; I cannot imagine it breaking.As everyone else has said, the hose cutter is really cheap. I threw it in the trash immediately as I already have a cable cutter that I bought decades years ago that also cuts hoses.

Slides the barbs in really nicely.Be sure the wiring is dry on the exterior prior to pinching in.Warm up the hose slightly to make more maleable.Take a narrow nail puncher and ensure hole is round.Cutter is useless. Went straight into bin immediately after opening package.

I used this to install new brake lines on my gravel tandem. I'd never done this kind of thing before but using this tool was super easy. The barb went in straight and I had no leaks after completion.I was concerned that this whole operation was delicate and I might need a high-priced tool from the big boy but this was fine. The hose cutter is not that great. I got another one from Jagwire and that worked great.Recommended.

Works great for making bike brake hydraulic lines the correct length.

This is an excellent tool for the home mechanic! It well built and easy to use. Makes installing barbs which need to be pressed a breeze. I couldn’t be happier it took a chance and bought this. A welcomed addition to my tool kit

The press tool feels pretty sturdy and works fine for pressing in fittings. The cutter tool, however, is worthless. It's slightly different than the marketing photos on the listing. The blade is not long enough and the plastic housing bottoms out prior to the hose being fully cut through. You end up with a frayed hose.

Es una herramienta muy útil, ya que sirve para meter a presión las olivas, y muy practica

Price is right on this tool. The barb installer is very nice quality anodized aluminum, even the turn handles are aluminum and not plastic. Pops the barb right in, no fuss, first time. Great!The plastic hose cutter looks cheap, but does the job, cutting hoses easily. We'll see how it holds up, but for today I just needed to shorten the hoses on my bike build, and it did that without fuss.For the home mechanic, I'd highly recommend this kit. As this isn't a job you're likely to do often, and this kit good quality. Certainly looks better than the plasticy Shimano kit that costs 4x the price! Pro mechanics will get the Park kit of course, but I can't justify the extra cost when this works so well.

The driver is amazing. full metal and all threads are solid with no play. Holds tubing firmly and makes barb insertion a breeze.The cutter feels incredibly cheap and gave me one or two good cuts before producing a lot of frays. Overall would recommend but don't expect anything from the cutter.
