-3 Hose Spreader
In order to insert the "olive" into Speed-Flex Hose, the stainless protective braid must be separated from the PTFE liner. This can be more difficult than it sounds.
In use, the tool is simply inserted into the cut end of the hose and pushed — spreading the braid.
The olive is then placed on the tool mandrel, pushed over the hose liner, and under the braid until the liner bottoms against the shoulder of the olive.
