I think these might require more than a hand tool to get a good leak-free line...
What compressor are you connecting to?

Could Hydraulic shop crimp those for you?What A/C unit did you end up with?
I know most of them will rent you a hand held crimper that works with their hose and fittings, you'll need to know exactly what fittings you have and use the correct crimper or you'll have issues. FYI the Parker fittings and hose that came in my Restomod kit are a different size than the Parker fittings and hose our local fitting store sells and every one of my hoses developed a leak at some point from using the incorrect crimper.
All the Interweb conversations on this topic say “No”.Could Hydraulic shop crimp those for you?
They take different dies to crimp A/C lines and they are specific to the brand from what I was told.Could Hydraulic shop crimp those for you?
