BNTP32 Aliexpress Hydraulic Crimper

I decided to gamble and order a big hydraulic crimper from AliExpress since our operation needs new hoses all the time. This crimper has very well payed for itself as the fittings and hose are a fraction of the cost of getting one made locally. The biggest benefit is when no one is open, like the middle of the night or on a Sunday, I can get a piece of equipment back up and running.

I bought one of these on Ali Express and it was a terrible experience. The person who did the customs paperwork was awful and caused me extra cost through delays. The wiring diagram is useless. Cheap though. I now need to order a heap of hose and fittings.The quick change tool is a must.

I had a good customs agent that made it pretty smooth. Have had no problem with the machine, has made 100's of lines!

Set the dial to zero before using die handle.

i wonder why isn't the measurement gauge calibrated

[@gripplife]

I do not know, there might be a way to adjust the zero

[@user-nc7vy4xf5t]

There is a process for calculating it just crimp a tube with proper die and measure it with calipers. There is a tiny set screw on the dial just loosen it and turn it with dial lock locked turn to the measurement of the tube that you crimped and tighten set screw. (DONE)

Where you buy the fittings and hoses

[@gripplife]

Mostly amazon/ebay

[@eduardomarin2837]

how much did it cost.? and how much did you pay in taxes

[@gripplife]

If I remember right, it was around $2300, and $700 dollars of imports fees. So close to 3k when it showed up.
