Oetiker clamps on critical assemblies.

Too bad they didn't put the screw on the fitting end, could have chucked it in a cordless drill.

I use a small cordless impact with a socket to run the tool up. You can put one together in mere seconds. Then we install an Oetiker clamp.

SCrew those Fragola fittings if you don't have the specal tools! I tried every tutorial online and only screwed up hose and hands. I got teflon lined pushlock and secured with oetiker stepless clamps for the return E85 system in my car.
