The installation instructions for all of their hard line that I have 
seen call for nothing more exotic than a hacksaw and ordinary electrical 
hand tools. I don't claim to be an expert, but that's all I've used to 
terminate a half dozen different types of hard line that I've scrounged 
from various sources to standard connectors that match each of the 
individual line types. And matching the connector to the line is most 
important -- each type of hard line is constructed differently.

Here's a short applications note that I wrote after doing that. It 
includes a listing of connector types and sources that I found for them. 
Not intended to be all inclusive, but it's what I found for what I had 
and what I needed. :)

BTW -- I was able to find, download, and print out instructions for most 
hard line types from the internet.  Google is your friend.
