Thanks not only for a useful tip for not taking longer than necessary to deliver it! Other channels would have made this a 15-minute video!

[ChrisLoganToronto]

Great tip!
Another great tip, don't try to take the stub out of the drill chuck until it's cooled

[garylanders]

That's the balls!
Thanks for sharing.

I just fixed a frayed end that has been difficult and painful every six months when I go up the ladder and change the shade cloth.

How to say it? What I'm thinking is: if it was Christmas, this tip would be better than fruit cake! Thanks so much.

I'm 69 and have been a mechanic my entire working life and that is simply awesome., great tip Jon !! BTW what happened to the pizza reviews??

[joect]

Simple! Easy! And it actually worked. Be sure you know the direction of the twist of the cable. I had to turn the drill clockwise to tighten over the cable but then reverse (counterclockwise) to twist while heating since the cable was twisted that way.

Thank you very much for that tip.I work with small steel cables, gas, and that NEVER crossed my mind.WOW😮🤙

[chisdalton]

Why oh why. Didn't I think of that! Brilliant. Thank you

[khancross]

It is by far the best method I have seen

[bradboyer]

This is awesome! I find myself having to make cable assemblies (thimbles, ferrules, etc.) out of 3/16" cable, just like you, and nothing I had laying around (e.g., bolt cutters) did anything but mash and fray the strands. But not only does this method "cut" clean but it leaves a nice tapered end, perfect for working with ferrules. Thanks!

This is great, never see this done before. I just sorted out my 4 x 30M steel wire rope so now to get rid of the fraying ends, Thanks.

[anthonywilliams]

That makes my day that is the best coolest trick I've ever seen i'm gonna do it in about two seconds and I'm sure it'll work out that is so awesome thank you very much for your time and effort in that video

[danmoreton]

Great solution to an old problem! I will do this in the future.

[AndrewPrice]

Worked extremely well!! Even just using a small propane torch, not mapp. Thanks!!

[SteveMessinger]

Worked great for me on 1/16" cable using standard propane rather than Mapp gas. Thanks!

[rogermcdonald]

Ive never seen that done Jon. When i buy cable for my winch and they cut the length off at the store, its a mess. Great and easy tip sir. Right On Jon !!👍🇺🇸🎥

[mrmukura]

Looks good, will have to remember this for another day.

Thanks for sharing.

[dfu]

Brilliant!!!! Thank you so much. I had never thought of doing this but it seems like it would work quite well and looks nice too!

[fosty.]

That's brilliant. I've only recently done some work with metal wire for the first time. I'll definitely be using this trick in the future.
