Best Fuel Line
I'm looking to run a an6 feed line on my car. Does anyone have a brand of hose they have had good luck with? Ideally something that doesn't require super expensive specialized tools.

Do you guys have any reservations against the push lock style fittings? The assembly seems a lot easier and less prone for error than the ptfe style fittings/ hose.

all that is needed for the stronger style fittings is a vise with rubber covers. lock the fitting into the hose by hand secure it in the vise and screw the fitting into place. make sure the hose is rated for e85 if your running that or race fuel

32, are you talking about the style fitting that uses an olive and flare? where the hose has an inner PTFE liner?

I used these on my trans cooler lines on a different car. They were a pain and more prone to installer error but it seems the consensus us they are tougher than the push lock style.

Push Lock = fire...
Aeroquipe has stood the test of time for a reason.. The Fragola is nice too if its the clone of Aero is good stuff ,,
I've personally watched more than a few cars burn using push lock, mostly corvettes trying to save money on the transmission cooler.
The classic stuff doesn't really require special tools, it requires practice..
Personally I use stainless hard line for long runs,, the fix is for transitions between moves and doesn't move..
YMMV

Duct tape the lines before cutting and get an aluminum crescent or wrap electric tape over the aluminum fittings and they wont mar.
I've used Aeroquip, Fragola and Summit brand all without failures on muscle car stuff and in my turbo I used all summit brand of this for trans cooler:
