It features an 8-petal seat structure made from 20Cr forged steel to ensure high strength, wear resistance, and reliable performance. With an integrated high-performance hydraulic pump, this tool delivers consistent crimping force for a wide range of applications including oil, gas, water, and automotive air conditioning hoses. The unit comes with 8 interchangeable dies ranging from 10mm to 30mm, supporting a crimping range of 6mm to 28mm. For added convenience, the crimper includes a rotary micrometer for micro-adjustments and a partitioned storage box to keep components organized. Engineered for efficiency without the need for electricity, this manual hydraulic system is ideal for professional use in engineering and automotive maintenance.
The VEVOR MK-16 high-pressure hydraulic hose crimper is designed for professional mechanics, automotive technicians, and industrial engineers who require reliable, portable hose connection solutions. Its primary benefit is the combination of high-strength 20Cr forged steel construction with a manual hydraulic pump, allowing for precision crimping in remote locations without electricity. One important caveat is that because it is a manual tool, achieving consistent results requires a steady hand and proper calibration using the built-in micrometer to ensure the dies are seated correctly before applying pressure.

FAQs
Can I use this tool for hoses larger than 28mm?
No, the tool is strictly rated for a crimping range of 6mm to 28mm. Exceeding this limit may damage the 8-petal seat structure.
Do I need to bleed the hydraulic pump before first use?
While pre-tested, it is recommended to cycle the pump a few times without a hose to ensure smooth operation and check for any air pockets.
Is the tool suitable for stainless steel fittings?
The tool is designed for standard automotive and industrial hose fittings. Check the hardness rating of your fittings against the 20Cr forged steel specifications.
What is the material of the die set?
The dies are crafted from high-strength forged steel to ensure they maintain shape under high compression.
How often should I lubricate the moving parts?
For professional use, apply a light coat of lubricant after every 10-20 uses or if you notice resistance during operation.
Can this be used on residential plumbing hoses?
Yes, it is effective for various hose types, provided the diameter falls within the supported range.
Troubleshooting
Crimping force feels insufficient
Check the hydraulic fluid level or bleed the hydraulic system to ensure no air bubbles are trapped inside the pump.
Uneven crimp pattern
Ensure the dies are seated correctly in the 8-petal structure and that the hose is centered perfectly within the die set before activating the pump.
Micrometer dial is difficult to turn
Clean any metallic dust or dirt from the adjustment threads and apply a light coating of machine lubricant.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Select the appropriate die set based on the hose diameter and place it securely into the 8-petal seat. Ensure the ferrule is positioned correctly between the die segments.
Calibration: Use the rotary micrometer to calibrate the crimping diameter before applying full hydraulic pressure.
Compatibility: The MK-16 supports various hose types, including oil, gas, water, and automotive AC lines, provided they fall within the 6mm to 28mm range.
Care: Keep the hydraulic piston clean and free of debris. Periodically check the forged steel segments for signs of wear and lubricate moving parts with high-quality machine oil. Store the tool in the provided box when not in use to prevent corrosion and accidental damage.
