Who knows. Some are good some aren't give it a try and let us 
know. The name brand ones are probably made in China also. You 
takes your pick and you takes your chances.

I figured FLAPS would use some handheld thing from Yellow Jacket or Mastercool,

I just now checked Amazon, and the Mastercool tool looks like it probably does exactly the same job as the big hose machine I saw years ago. 
If you only need the sizes it's set up for, that thing could pay for itself in rehosing one car:

NAPA makes hoses (at least in its downtown Albuquerque store).

It's a hydraulic steering assist system. 
Take the hoses to your local farm implement or industrial hydraulics dealer.

Call them and ask.  You should be able to just give them the hose diameter and 
length to get a ballpark.

The low pressure (return) line is 11mm ID hose that’s available just about 
anywhere for cheep.  I think I bought a meter of it just recently form an 
online vendor for around $15.

[MBZ] PS hose repair?

[Floyd Thursby via Mercedes]

The PS hose(s) are leaking on the SEC, new MB parts are $98/$63 H/L for 
new MB parts.  How much might a repair cost on these? There are various 
hose repair places around town like DP got his AC hoses fixed,   Wonder 
if they would do it cheaper.
