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.

This one work for carpet solution line?

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.
Jeremy Prows –
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

Call me sometime and maybe we can get to the bottom of these problems. Definitely not the norm.

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.

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..

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

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.
Irving Rendon –
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!
Mike Sadowski –
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!
