Review on ๐Ÿ”ง Corki Upgraded Needle Driver: Enhanced Bicycle Hydraulic Hose Fitting Insert Tool by Jeff Jordan

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Works well. for cycling

If you're trying to install a brake hose insert without one of these tools, stop agonizing and get one now. It holds the brake hose securely enough to fit all but the tightest barb inserts. If the bit won't go all the way in with this tool, it's probably too big for the hose - try a different one. I had an insertion stop that was missing 2mm at the end causing the tubing to slip into the yoke, but I repaired it and found it a bit too big (about 0.15mm); the ferrule (olive) also did not fit the end of the convex hose. Now I'm in the habit of checking all earbuds before installing - no problems since.

Pros
  • Ideal for bike hydraulic hose, bike shop tool.
Cons
  • Not everything fits
