Barb Insertion Tool needed

Made mine out of oak 1 x2 that held the tubing firm to allow me to push in the metal parts Two step hole. Worked like a charm.

 

Have to do this project as well. Purchased all the parts from Verell last year, just been too lazy to build the tool. Really need to work on applying myself!

 

Me too!

 

I clamped small pieces of one by two together. And I drilled a hole in the center line across the grain smaller than the size of the tube that I was using. Then I drilled the second hole only about a half inch deep. That size is just bigger then the barb od. This hole prevent wobble. I was able to put both hose sizes in the same jig. The largest hose size was easy by hand for me. Hope this was helpful. Wayne
