4 AWG works well for 3/16" wire rope swaging.

[markrodgers]

Do you have the same stainless fittings for 5mm stainless cable??

Hi. Nice video. But I wonder if this metode is ok for swaging shrouds on sailboats? Best regards.

I did this same single crimp and out of 2 ends 1 slipped. I think 2 crimps per end in 2 different spots is key. I would rather only crimp once but, It would ruin a hole run if one end slips

How wide are the dies that come with this tool?

[dougoldfield]

Good tool! Sometimes when I crimp the fastener will deform and bind. How do I keep it straight? Thanks

[diydaveman]

Do you have links for these different fittings? Also the tool link didn't work for me. Thanks for the video

8:30 sorry for being pedantic but test should show that the cable breaks before the connection, not that it pulled out of the timber. Your test checked the quality of the timber, not the fitting.

Also, you didn’t say if the failure tension exceeded the fitting’s rating or not. If it pulled out below the tension rating, the test is meaningless.

I’d recommend you do a test where the anchoring isn’t the failure point.

Does that hydraulic press automatically "release" at some constant hydraulic pressure "maximum", or it it all done haphazardly, by hand pressure, "by feel" only?.... Do you use some type of "go-no go" guage, to determine if each crimp has been squeezed far enough?!.... THANK YOU, FOR A VERY NICE TOOL DEMO VIDEO!!

Hahaha, at 7:17 "... you can see how easy this is; and it doesn't take a lot of force..." right after his eyes have popped out of their sockets at 6:58.
