Generic braided fuel line and regulator, worthwhile buy ?

Ever tried to put together hoses with generic AN hose ends?
They easily strip out.
I just went thru this running fuel line plumbing using Summit hose ends, which were obviously MADE IN CHINA.
I always try to save a buck using the generic Summit stuff, but I will never use their hose ends again.
My fingers gonna be sore for a good week.

Buy the Earls or Russell brand hardware. Precision made.
