This tool made cutting the brake hose and driving the spike into the hose super simple. Just follow the instructions. I suspect the bad reviews were maybe because one step was forgotten? Once the hose is positioned you need to clamp the blue latch down so the hose won’t back out when the lever is moved to push in the spike. Took less than 60 seconds from start to finish. No mineral oil spilled. Great tool for the job…

Doesn't Work. Don't Recommend

The other reviews are correct: The barb press doesn't hold the hose tight enough. The hose gets pushed out of the tool and the barb doesn't go in. I didn't have any luck with the cutting tool either. I cut my hose multiple times to get a clean cut and it never did. Its better to use the cutting tool alone without inserting it into the hose clamping tool. Overall this tool didn't work at all. I don't recommend.
