The A/C hose is much less forgiving, and must be the proper length, and the natural curve of the hose oriented correctly. The disadvantage to using the A/C hose crimper, is that the entire hose assemblies have to be out of the car. With the other systems, the ferules can be cut off with the hard lines still in the car, and the hose replaced and clamped on with the various kinds of clamps. The last set I did (just last week), I used the 5/8 hydraulic hose with modified A/C hose ferules (I had to drill out the holes to fit over the barbs). They look and work great!
