Tricks for SS Braided Hose & AN Fittings
#21
These fittings had a little lip inside the socket, I just ground out that lip.
Smooth it out, so to speak. Then the braided part when up in there.
The best way I found to cut the line, was to tape it and cut it with a cut off wheel.
Nice and square and no frayed lines.
I'm so happy I got this done, I'm going to take Rene' out to dinner!

I appreciate the input, I just guessed that most didn't realize what a good job a hammer & chisel did on SS braided hose. I ran miles of this **** in the 80s & 90s in an industrial environment and had every tool available to us; we preferred using a hammer & good sharp chisel.

They cut the same really, just shear force. But cable cutters, you need to buy them. Not everyone has a big nice set, then they take up alot of room (you need a 3-4ft long set to cut braided -10 and bigger, and not be tired after making 4 cuts. If you have to make 10-25 cuts and not jacked my little arms get sore 2 people is a big help too, hammer its fine alone, but at night its kinds loud too if you in you home garage. The cutter is not, thats all I can think is better, its up to you.
