Customer Reviews for 762mm/30" Hand Swager, Swaging Tool for 5/32", 1/4" and 5/16" Aluminum/Copper Sleeves

Works PERFECTLY for repairing my wire winch cable with 1/4" cable. It is a heavy duty tool, but EASILY crimps 1/4" wire cable aluminum sleeves. So very thrilled to have this tool on hand to help quickly repair any random winch cable snaps.

This is a rugged and well performing tool. However, on receipt mine was almost impossible to actuate. No amount of oil would free it up. Turns out the tension was set too tight at the factory. I removed the small keeper bolt on the head and removed the thin plate that holds the tension bolts in place. The tension bolts were loosened a bit and the plate re-installed.Works great now. This is a good value.

I own a Arctic cat 4 wheel side by side with a 3/8 in cable wench, have had to repair the hook end a number of times with this tool and love it. before i owned it I had to go to the nearest hardware store and borrow and or rent the tools to repair it. I would totally recommend this tool.

This is a must for 3/8" wire rope cable, you will need a bench mounted vise for easier crimping. The #1 reason I bought this is because when using the cables with clamps (X3 clamps each end), at max pull (12,000 pound pull) they slipped! I cannot have this happen EVER. I maid up a 75' cable and put it to the test. I LOVE IT. No moving from the original crimped position. I do recommend.

Good product very satisfying

This tool absolutely works and the price is reasonable. I can't image a way that a single person could ever use this device. I am not even sure how two people could make it work. I had to put the tool in a vice that I have mounted to a tractor. It took my full body weight to get the tool to close. The swages are good but the process is difficult. It is not the tools fault, it just takes a lot of force to swage 3/8 cable. Without the vice set up I know I could not have done it by myself.

This is a great heavy duty tool and does everything it is supposed to do. However, you better eat a big breakfast or invite friends over if you plan to crimp the larger sizes. Its a bear to squeeze the handles shut!

it will crimp. I put mine in a vise and bepulled one handle. if you could buy smaller dies for smaller wire that would be great

Worked great. Easy operation with one handle braced against solid surface. Good final crimp.

Ordered and arrived quickly. Was able to use this product very easily and it was very satisfied with the instructions. Would highly recommend.
