{"product_id":"dramm-drammpress-hose-crimper","title":"Dramm - DrammPress Hose Crimper","description":"\u003ch2\u003eDrammPress Hose Crimper\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eA hardened steel bench press that swages Dramm's nickel plated brass fittings and ferrules onto ColorStorm hose, so a shop can cut hose to any length and put a factory-grade end on it in house. Dramm's claim is that it fits fittings and ferrules as securely as the equipment in their own shop, and because the ferrule does the clamping there are no ring bands or gear clamps involved. Bought by greenhouses, nurseries and grounds departments that go through hose and would rather make 135 ft assemblies than buy 100 ft ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe choice on this page is which jaw set ships with the frame. Frame only is the bare press and cannot crimp anything until a jaw set is fitted - buy it if you already own jaws or are adding a second station. The bundles are the same frame with one jaw set included, and jaw size matches the hose inside diameter, not the thread size of the fitting: the 5\/8 in jaws are for 5\/8 in ColorStorm and the 3\/4 in jaws for 3\/4 in ColorStorm. Jaws are interchangeable on one frame, so a shop running both hose sizes buys the frame once and adds the second jaw set rather than a second press. A 1\/2 in jaw set is available on request rather than from shelf stock, so specify it on the order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrame\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardened steel, mounts to a bench or table\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrive\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTurned by the included allen wrench or by a cordless drill with the included bit; both tools ship with the frame, not with the jaws\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJaw sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5\/8 in jaws for 5\/8 in ColorStorm hose; 3\/4 in jaws for 3\/4 in ColorStorm hose; both fit the same frame and are interchangeable.
