A must must must have! If you have steel braided hose I've found that an angle grinder with a metal cutting disc works really well to get a clean cut which makes them much easier to install. Hoses fixed in a few minutes versus having to take them to someone and have them fix them!

These Gator Crimps are super east to install. If you get them and don't know what to do, go over to the Video's section and watch the tutorial. Joe makes it easy to follow along and fix that leaking solution hose. I recommend this to everyone . Thanks Joe.

These things have saved my azz from rescheduling jobs and other times from not finishing a job. You know….when you first fire up the mount before heading out to a job then discover solution hose has sprung a leak. Other times while working, dang hose decides to spring a leak. Well now am able to fix the problem before heading out or fix in the customers driveway. I carry a bunch of these gators just in case moments. a must have for all truckmount’rs!

I normally let Joe install these as I order hoses. That being said I did have a leak on one of the hoses. It was nice to be able to fix the hose myself. I watched his video and used a angle grinder to get a clean cut. I'm not sure how these guys do it on the jobsite. My hoses have metal lining. Seems like a pain to attempt on job. Drill and angle grinder however, made it WAY easier!

The 'Gator’ Hose Crimps are a great design, the ability to make field repairs without going to yet another specialty vendor is great! You cant go wrong with this purchase!

Perfect for on the job repairs. Have a set on all three of our vans so tech's can repair in the field instead of wasting time coming back to the shop to repair a hose.

Love the stainless gator crimps. They have allowed us to buy hose in bulk to make our own hose sections and perform hose repairs in house saving time and money.

I am a person that hates to rely on someone to repair my equipment. Gator grips are a must if you are like me and hate down town and lose of revenue due to hose breaks. Gator grips are easy to install and get you back working quickly.

I was a bit skeptical about Gator Crimps but I used them to repair a few blown hoses I had laying around and WOW these are great. Not only are they easy but the money and time I will save being able to repair my hoses in the field instead of going back to the shop is priceless. These are a must have item to keep on all your trucks. I have ran my pressure to 2,000PSI at 220F and they hold up great.

I love these crimps, I can fix a hose leak in less than 10 minutes on the job. Being reusable, these crimps are worth every penny. I highly recommend the product and seller, I've always had a good experience.

I really enjoyed this hose crimps that I had to purchase more to have in hand, easy to install, saved me time from having to go and find a place to fix my hose. Do it yourself with minimum tools to fix your own hoses

I've been buying these gators crimps for awhile now. They have come in handy like you won't believe. I love these things and have save me so much money . It gives extra life to your hoses . I always have some extras in my van . These gators are tuff and durable. I recommend to have some in your van for back up for an emergency busted hose. To top off they are easy to install.

I wish I could give these 10 stars!!!!! They are amazing and saved me yet again last week. I was 40 miles from anywhere and starting a carpet cleaning and my hose blew about 2 feet behind the wand. And thanks to gator Crimps I was up and running in ten minutes and in done messing with it. It’s easy, fast, and work’s permanently. This is a must for all carpet cleaners!!!!!!

This is the best way to crimp a solution hose! Wanders products are amazing and well thought out with the carpet cleaner in mind. The mechanical crimp is much better than the other crimp. Gator crimps will save you on the job site, Joe's video shows excactly how to install the product.

OMG. Every cleaner needs these. They can get you out of a bind when that hose springs a leak 2 inches from the crimp. These are a 5 minute change and you are back cleaning. I have found these to be very durable. All of my hoses have these for day to day use.

Just want to again say how much I like your Gator Crimps, since I just had an old hose end fail & was out of Gator Crimps so I disassembled the reusable Stainless Gator Crimps I had used on a short auxiliary hose I keep on hand to fix the hose, while I wait for my order of crimps to arrive. Try that with a regular crimp end lol.

Gator Crimps, so easy to use & save’s time & money, compared to driving to a shop that probably uses metal crimps that rust & fail, hoping they have them in stock & someone that can properly use the crimp machine. We all know service & parts are getting harder to get. Use the stainless and they’ll outlast the hose & you an put them on the new hose. Joe has are back with Gator Crimps & Cool Cuffs, making are job easier& us more reliable & professional looking to our customers.

Have been using these for years and have never had 1 leak or blow off if you install them correctly. I cant imagine why people would not want some of these after giving them a go!

I've use a bunch of these on all my hoses now. I run an Everest 650 which heats up to about 240-250 degrees and use it up to 1200psi often. This crimps have held up better than the crimps that they install at the hydraulic hose repair shops. I have not had a single crimp fail, and if the hose goes bad you can reuse them! Busted hoses don't stop me anymore because I can carry a couple hand tools in my van and repair them on the spot in literally 5-10 mins. These crimps have saved me so much time and money and I no longer have to go in for hose repairs.

These crimps rock! We used to go to the local hydraulic store to get ends repairs and they kept failing. With these the hose and ends last and last. Way to go JOE!

They are really good. I was not sure about them. But I got some and they are amazing. I am using them at 400 - 900psi. And 175 F Degrees.

This is a fantastic product. They are exactly as described. They go on easy and they stay on even with 1200 psi. I’ve been using these exclusively for over a year and I have never had one fail. When I have a blown hose, I grab my hose cutters and a couple of wrenches and I’m back in action in 10 minutes. Because of Gator Crimps I know longer have to carry a lot of extra solution hose. You know what it’s like when you have 150 footer and it blows apart (usually 6 or 8 inches from the end)you are suddenly down three sections. Not with Gator Crimps. Couldn’t recommend more highly.

Cheaper than getting a fitting done at a hydraulic place and available 24/7. I've never had one of these fail.

Most places you may call you may get uninformed customer service. Not at Wanders I always get excellent service and technical help. Products are best quality. I wont buy hose anywhere else. The gater crimps have saved me money time after time. When I did have an issue, Joe made it right. No Problem! I just hope Joe don't get sucked up by a large corporation like so many smaller company's have . I preferer small business for my small business..

I've had these blow apart three times now. I'm pretty mechanical and followed the directions exactly. The Joe valve does not handle either the heat or the pressure of my everest when i did tile, my first job after installing the gator crimps, Joe valve, and cool connect, it blew apart at the machine. Second time it was at a commercial job. Third time was at a customers house. I am using bridgepoints version 3000 psi 250 degree hose. No idea why they keep popping off. I've been very dis satisfied. So maybe you have some insight why my gator crimps come apart. I've read you guarantee them to not blow off, if installed correctly. I'm not sure what i apparently am doing wrong. I do a lot of tile cleaning, 1100 to 1200 psi. And a lot of carpet cleaning. Help please
Reply from Joe Bristor:
I just ran into this Jeremy Prows again. He had received my eblast about how the Lil Better vac hose was going up in price and wanted in on the old price. I said sure and what about Cool Cuffs, Joe Valves and Gator crimps. He kinda laughed in my face and said none of them held up. All junk in his opinion. I was kinda shocked. Wow, really? OK, so we know this is not true. Thousands of cleaners love all three. So now I know Jeremy Prows. I told him I'd be holding the last of the Lil Better hose at the old prices for people who actually who had a more favorable view of my products. He said ok and hung up. My message to all of you, if you are like Jeremy then please don't buy from me at all.

Hose was leaking on the job. had to grab the old, thick, hard to manage PC backup hose(ugg!) I've hesitated to buy the gator crimp scared I might mess it up. 1st time is always the hardest.

Gator Crimps: These are a must have item on your truck. If you pop a crimp you can install a Gator Crimp and be back up and running in minutes. If you install them right, they are just as durable as hydraulic crimps.
