Pittsburgh – November 10, 2026 -- A Wisconsin inventor is offering a patent-pending hydraulic hose tool for licensing or sale, designed to let technicians tighten or loosen a faulty hose fitting in about one minute.
THE VALVE TOOL fits around a single hose fitting without disturbing neighboring hoses
