I'm at this stage now. How does one put these things together if I don't choose to buy that tool?

 Carefully 

  

 The pain is that after you cut the lines the metal strands  that make up the jacket can fray. So when you go to insert the hose into the  fitting's nut/collar the strands don't want to go inside. All the Koul Tools'  kit does is create a funnel that directs the hose and jacket into the  fitting.

  

 Two things help assembly:

  

 - wrap the hose in tape and cut the hose in the middle of  the tape to prevent the jacket from fraying in the first place. Use an abrasive  cut-off wheel to make the cut.

 - if you do have loose strands, help them into the  fitting's collar with a small flat screwdriver. Work your way around the collar,  gently pushing in a few strands at a time before you seat the hose the entire  way.

  

 Here is a page that gives a tutorial: http://www.goodvibesracing.com/XRP%20Hose%20Assembly.htm
