## Description

iCrimp Wire Rope Crimping Tool for Aluminum Loop Sleeve, Two Barrel Ferrule, Oval Sleeves, 3/64 in to 1/8 in, Swaging Tool Kit with Wire Rope Cutter - desertcart.com

Review: Good tool for light-duty cable crimping - This is a well built tool that will do a good job for general purpose use in crimping ferrules to smaller wire rope assemblies. I used it to make crimps on 1/8" standard wire rope, and it worked well for the 24 or so crimps I had to do for my project. In my opinion, if you're doing professional cable assembly it might be best to spend a bit more on a tool that will stand up to heavy use. The cutter tool included did well cutting 1/8" wire rope, no complaints there. Well made combo for the price paid.
Review: They work really well...For me. - I am a theatrical technical director and have used many brands of crimpers and cutters. I used this set to rig three productions so far and counting. That's dozens of cuts and crimps. This thing is wonderful. It's compact size is easier for me to get in tight or high places. Although, the shorter handles do require a bit more force. Not a problem for me but, may be for others. If you are using this crimper for structural or flying purposes I have two points. You should be using a go-no go gauge, as often as you can. This thing does NOT come with one. (It should). That said, I have a few spare gauges and this crimper works very well. It's way easier to adjust as well. The second point is, I've read some of the reviews and it is clear that many people don't know how wire rope accessories work. Not all swaging sleeves are rated. Not all wire rope is alike. The markings on the tool are clear. I/8th inch refers to the diameter of the wire rope. You should educate yourself or leave it to the professionals, you run the risk of injury or worse. The cutters are tricky, here is a trade secret. If you use the cutters properly, they will last a long time. Seriously, as with any of these cutters, if you don't keep the tool perpendicular to the wire rope when cutting force is applied, you will trap the individual wires in the rope. This widens the pivot which lossens the tool and makes cutting impossible. But that is user error. All of these cutters behave this way including felco. Just pay attention and enjoy.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What's Swaging?**
A: Swaging is a process that terminates the end of a wire rope, either by creating an eye loop or simply adding a stopping point on the wire. A Cable Swager is the tool that you use to complete this process, along with a ferrule or swage sleeve.

**Q: How strong is swaging?**
A: When swaged properly, the strength of this termination is of 90% of the breaking strength of the cable.

**Q: What are applications of aluminum loop sleeve?**
A: Cable swage sleeves and wire rope end fittings are very versatile and are an essential part of many wire rope rigging applications.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worked. Perfectly.
*by R***. on November 26, 2018*

I've used a number of crimpers and wire cutters working on boat rigging over the years. On my small projects, using 1/8" wire and fittings, both these crimpers and cutters functioned as well as any I've ever used. This type of tool requires a little skill and/or experience One has to understand what they can and cannot do. They are not forgiving of mistakes. Nor are they indestructible. Used right - these are a bargain. Used badly, or on unsuitable materials, they ain't gonna work. For folks who have had trouble with the cutters - I have two comments. First, these are small cutters, without a lot of leverage. If you're going to cut 1/8" stainless wire with them, you're going to have to use real force. If you don't have strong hands, pick another tool. But, if you put a wrap of electrical tape on the area you're going to cut to keep the strands in place, and cut quickly and forcefully, the cutters I received are more than adequate.
