Customer Reviews for 600 mm / 24" Hand Swager Cable Wire Rope Cutter Swage 1.5 mm - 5 mm Aluminum Sleeves Copper

A new wire core halyard for my flagpole is $110. For only a few dollars more I purchased the hardware and this tool to make two 50' halyards. My only complaint keeping it from a 5 star review is that one of the handles should have a flat spot to push against the ground or floor because with a tool this big, like a large bolt cutter, you're not going to chest press both handles together unless you're 6'4+ and built like the Rock.

So far so good! This tool seems very strong. I have used it a small amount so far, but I'm just learning how to use it so if I was going to break it easily, it would have happened by now.It's a little bulky to get used to, especially since I'm using one hand to hold the crimp and the other hand(s) to hold the tool. If I use it on a carpeted floor, it's much easier.The wire cutter portion works well.I haven't figured out how to store it, however. It arrived with the arms together, but I haven't figured out how to get it back to that state yet... Hopefully that is a possibility?

Good quality, easy to use if you can use both hands

I bought this for double duty as a wire cutter and swager and it's great. Decent price and it crimps like a champ. My ferrules are tight on the 1/8" steel wire and the force required to get them on is pretty low because of the strong lever action. Very impressed with this tool.

Muy buen producto muchas gracias

Seemed a little expensive but after seeing it and testing it, I'm pleased. Have only tested it on 1/16 aluminum stops and ferrules over stainless wire, but it performs beautifully and far nicer than using a hammer crimper. Feels like it would last forever as long as that cast head is as well made as it appears.

Handles are plenty long, but annoyingly tapered which makes them hard to clamp in a woodworking vise. Crimps fine. You'll need a large vise or second set of hands to free up a hand to position ferrules at start-of-crimp.

Powerful swaging on he 3/32 cable i have been working on and excellent cable cutters on either side of the jaws cut cleanly without fraying the cable

I bought this swager to repair my snow blower - which it did very nicely. It makes a nice, secure swage and produces a great cable termination. With the multiple sizes, I couldn't ask for better. Great product!

Good tool
