always lookin to save a couple bucks here and there so i ordered a bunch of -6 and -8 stuff.
well, like most chinese stuff, the QC is on you. found all sorts of burrs and stuff....they just anodized it right over it haha
also compared to the fragola fittings and pro's lite hose it's of course harder to work with. it kinks easy so everything needs a lazy loop or an angle fitting
is it worth it? yeah its like half the price. it's pretty much a copy of the old (90's) earl's 3 piece stuff as far as construction.

sorta true. Lots go together well, especially the ptfe stuff. Only issue Ive have is some of the black nylon covered line will be a tad too big for the fitting. The only option is to waller the fitting out a tad so the hose fits properly. Sort of a pain in the butt but Ive accepted it as a reality when using mismatched stuff.

One thing I do now I never used to do is oil all threads-threads putting the fittings together,
the ends onto another fitting, behind the flare, etc. I find it really helps the seal, as a lot of the
stuff is now imported, even name brand, just hasn't sealed as good as before.

I always use ARP lube on these types of fittings. It makes things SO much easier. Also, for cutting into the braided SS lines, use a Hammer Chisel and place the hose on a sheet of steel or AL. Wood event works okay. Sharpen up the Chisel and take a good sized hammer to cut the hose. It will give you a PERFECT cut every time. You just need to squeeze the hose back to round as it'll have a slight oval shape right after cutting through it.
Summit braided hose. Don't use it for fuel. It dries out quick and it you move it, it'll crack and leak after a year or two. Ask me how I know.
