Bitspower fittings

Have been looing around and just wondered if the bitspower fittings are really worth the extra money over say DD and EK fittings (not compression fittings).

Thx

The build and finish is excellent on bitspower, you pay more for the quality and the brand. I don't think there is a huge difference between build quality on barbs from those manufacturers though.

BitsPower tend to have a better overall finish but from a pure performance point of veiew they are no different from any EK offering. They are just nice bling for your system.

I had read somewhere that bitspower make the fat boy barbs for denger den not 100% sure on that though, NathWraith may know.

Thx for the info but as I use hose clamps no one would see nice black bitspower fittings anyway so I might as well buy the cheaper options.

Just as a side what about any quality difference with compression fittings a I have been tempted to move to them but its just aditional expenditure for IMHO no gain.
