Twin Line Crimping Tool for Empire/Schmidt Style Crimp Rings
This twin line crimping tool tightens the crimp rings that hold fittings on Empire/Schmidt style twin line (deadman) hose. With it, a coil of bulk twin line, crimp rings and swivel inserts, you can make deadman hose to any length you need — or replace a damaged end and put a line back in service.
Why Build or Repair Your Own Twin Line?
- Save money: a pre-coupled twin line assembly typically runs $60–$165. Crimp rings and bulk hose cost a fraction of that.
- Get the exact length: no extra hose coiled at the pot, no coming up short.
- Stay running: fix a cut or worn end on site instead of waiting for a new hose to ship.
The deadman line is a safety device. Replace any twin line that is cut, kinked or leaking, and always test the deadman before you start blasting.
