Inventor of Koul Tools, Dick Raczuk, at SEMA

BEST TOOL SINCE THE INVENTION OF THE HAMMER!"

LONG OVERDUE

Since the invention of stainless braided rubber hose, racers and mechanics have been fighting the problem of installing it into the socket part of the assembly. If your lucky and get a clean cut on the end of that hose, you might get it in. Most of the time a little fuzz appears on the hose end and the battle begins. It is not only time consuming, it can get bloody. KOUL tools has delivered a solution that makes the assembly a snap. Manufactured of a high tech composite, it is virtually indestructible. No need to worry

about vise marks or wearing out. Just insert the socket into the tool, twist the hose in, and in less than 10 seconds you have it assembled. You can repeat this several times without recutting the hose end. The tool can pay for itself the first time you don't have to scrap some hose because it got too short trying to clean up the end. You'll be amazed at the amount of time you'll save. After using this tool, you will say to yourself, "KOUL".

Like the manufacturers and distributors of many of the slickest automotive tools, Dick Raczuk invented his Koul Tool out of necessity. Dick was working on his 41 Graham Hollywood and his hands were bloody and torn up from the braided hose .... he knew there had to be a better way to get the hoses into the fittings .... and so the 'koul tool" was born. Here are some pictures of the 41 Graham build.

Take a look at the radiator setup. There are dozens of "one off" pieces and adaptations on this car.

Take a close look.... that's a Northstar engine ... and since they are originally designed to sit sideways in the car, there are many problems in adapting it ....
