Thank you! Very clear explanation and cleared up a lot of questions!

[BhathiyaBandara]

Didn't know this kind of stuff exists till I watch this.

Thank you for this video. Can you use the same crimping tool for all of the fittings for a particular cable size? I.e., if you were terminating 3/16 wire rope, would the same crimper work for oval sleeves as well as the stop sleeves or balls? Does the crimper for aluminum sleeves also work with copper and stainless steel sleeves?

Can one make bike cables using this technique?

Can 7x1 wire ropes use an aluminum sleeve/ferrule? or will it slip away under tension? i´ve been having this problem. Thanks!!!

How would You repair a stationary swager's joints/hinge? If the rear curved arms connection hole has been filed down from loose fitting Bolt?

Very good tutorial! Easy to understand!

[jacksonbaker]

What brand of hydraulic swager do you use?

[brentd]

I have a piece of exercise equipment that has a threaded bolt with a stop after it. The cable is fed through the bolt which attaches to a sliding weight stack. The stop looks like what is shown in the video at 00:51. I bought a swaging tool and a stop at lowes today, but I'm afraid to try it and mess it up. Any advice? I have pictures I could send if it helps.

[stevemorton]

i have a 1/16 wire. Can i just smash the loop sleeve with a hammer. I don't have the cramping tool.

[BeRae]

Yep, because everybody has a machine to compress a ball sleeve. I was looking for a video that showed how I could put one on. Oh well

[itsyagirlindica]

Is this for jewelry? don't answer that. 😣😖

[mcchillindaily]

I just bought 5 of these for my bicycle throttle and brake cables. I'm just gonna hit them with a hammer.
