oil cooler lines easy to piece together a kit ?

I need to replace my main oil line from the engine to the cooler
Oe part is about 200 bucks.
Plenty of places that sell braided SS lines. Most kits seem very well done but can't help but wonder how easy is it to piece togther yourself.
It seems Banzai sells a pre made kit but also sells individual parts to make your own.
I only wonder if I am missing something because of the large price difference.
15 ft of line , 6 AN to Metric adapters , 4 90 degree hose ends , and 1 45
This adds up to less than half what they sell the kit for ? Does assembly require a special tool I am not aware of ?

You need -10 lines not -6

By the time you get the fittings its only about 20% less than most kits. Especially if you have to buy them retail
