Koul Tools
The large kit contains the capsules to install -10, -12, -16 hose into their respective sockets. To accommodate all the different manufacturer’s fittings, spacers and sleeves are required to tighten up some of the sockets within the capsule. For the tool to perform at its best, the socket needs to be a snug fit into the funnel. In the 1016 kit, all the -16’s except Russell’s require the sleeve and a rear spacer. See the instructions in the case for the proper spacer number. Most of the -10’s and 12’s* will use a spacer. Not for use with Teflon-style hose. * -12 is a stainless spacer.
Since the invention of stainless braided hose, racers and mechanics have been fighting the problem of installing it into the socket part of the assembly. If you’re lucky and get a clean cut on the end of that hose, you might get it in. Most of the time a little fuzz appears on the hose end and the battle begins. It is not only time consuming, it can get bloody. KOUL tools has delivered a solution that makes the assembly a snap. Manufactured of a high tech composite, it is virtually indestructible. No need to worry about vise marks or wearing out. Just insert the socket into the tool, twist the hose in, and in less than 10 seconds you have it assembled. You can repeat this several times without recutting the hose end. The tool can pay for itself the first time you don't have to scrap some hose because it got too short trying to clean up the end. You'll be amazed at the amount of time you'll save. After using this tool, you will say to yourself, "KOUL".
