Yeah I like the idea of being able to cut the hose to length (even though I hate putting fittings onto braided lines lol. Always end up getting cut up!)
It's only one bracket I got told, not sure why there is a picture of two in that first pic.
It's not that bad. Some people have no problems with it. I usually struggle with small braided lines, but the bigger ones usually are fine.
In the DIY I write up, i'll put up a couple of Youtube links that helped me learn a couple of tricks to putting fittings on.
