    I used an Eckstein which worked great. Unfortunately neither it or the Cohline equivalent are cheap. Eckstein is nearly 1900 and the Cohline is 2,300 +/-

    The Eckstein was a HD piece of equipment imho.

    Good luck,

    Tom

    The Eckstein is an eight sided crimper and the Cohline is six sided , so an easy decision - get an Eckstein .

    I’ve had a Cohline for 15 years, didn’t know there was an alternative. As Richy said, 8 crimps are more original.

    pistolpete, I am going to keep my crimper, but thanks for asking. i thought that the Eckstein would be the way to go but it WON'T do the 2 sizes of oil lines that we deal with on the 65-89 cars. if I was flush with cash I would buy the Eckstein just to do fuel lines cuz as Richy said, 8 fingers give a more authentic look.
