The commet I made about being cheep was not directed at the fitting themselves but at people saying not to buy a chhep ol cooler, which this is not. But then being happy with socketless connectors when crimped on ends are better if not a bit of overkill though. Word of advice check those JIC fitting everytime you change your oil as they do like to slowly back off from vibration. But for the love of god dont over torque them or you will be asking for a leek.
