Not cheap, but makes the job a doddle.

I found the key was masking taping the outer braid and cutting through it good'n'quick with a 1mm thin cutting disk. Only way to stop the braid all splitting out and then its impossible to get the fitting over it.

Also, depends on what fittings youve got as some are trickyer than others.
