[Healeys] New Post On My Blog

Bob,

 

When I wrote “I have one” I meant an original hose. I also have an anvil cutter but it only works on big hoses. I can make clean cuts with a sharp utility knife.

John,

You've caught the disease. I GUARANTEE you will check out the hose cuts every time you look at a restoration.

Those 'anvil' cutters are actually the fastest/easiest, at least for manual operations. With shears, scissors, knives, whatever you'll end up hacking at the hose. Those cutters are like little guillotines.

Bob,

 

I wonder what Healey “factory” cut hoses look like. I have one that I should search for in the garage. Clean cuts probably equal lost concours points. Hahaha.

Agree wholeheartedly!

As an aside, these tools will make a perfectly square and clean cut on heater and other hoses. I've seen 6-figure restorations with jagged cuts on hoses, and I can't 'unsee' them.
