I've spent days looking at videos to explain how to use the sleeves and swaging tool. Thank you for making such a complete video on the topic. You're a life saver!
Glad we could help!
You are a credit to your profession and E-Rigging. You just saved me from making a bad mistake.
Wildly helpful. I was wondering how to get the plastic wrapping into the sleeve. Now I know to cut it off. Thank you!
Wow! Incredibly informative and well presented. A lot of thought and effort went into this video. This is how you build confidence in a company and sell product. Well done!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Yeah, no kidding. I learned on the job a decade ago and it never even occurred to me there was a right way beyond that.
This is a stroke of marketing genius. I've wondered for years where to get and how to use this hardware. So glad to have found you. I'm on the way to your web site right now.
I was only looking into making a kayak paddle leash with weed whacker line, then this came up. I do work in industrial equipment (torquing and lifting) and learnt probably everything I didn't know about steel cable swaging. I wish we had videos this informative, direct and simple to watch when I started...
Glad you're here now! Many DIYers are unaware of the many applications simple rigging techniques can be applied to. Thanks for the comment!
Best made and most informative video I have found on the subject! Thank you!
Thanks!
Every amateur radio operator with a tower or a mast should be watching this. Personally, I would like to see it as part of the technicians class license test.
Thanks for the kind words. Too often we find applications where the swage fittings are installed incorrectly. Hopefully more people can watch this quick video to swage properly.
You are correct! So another question would be, do they make sleeves that would match EHS cable sizes? Testing data for them as compared to guy grips would be very good to have also. 73
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. It caught my eye even though I will never have to swage anything, ever ! Now I want the whole set. What a very calm, confident voice you have as well.
Wow I dont think this has anything to do with swagging, I think you just want him lol..No worries you can be honest here!
Have watched several videos on this topic trying to understand the proper technique for swaging. This video was the best by far. Thanks!
I'm in college to be an aircraft mechanic, and now we're learning about rigging control cables. This channel's videos have been super helpful!
Finally a video that explains why swaging even works ! It's those valley bruh!
Tavis Gustafson those valleys are “pitted” bruh.
Touche` Broseefus
Who had the bright idea to play loud music while we were trying to listen to the comentary? I really wanted to listen but gave up after a few minutes.
Give this man a technical award.
Thanks, Bob! I'll wear it proudly!
Redundant to the already posted comments, but can't help myself. This is about the mostest, bestest how to video I have ever come across. Just added you folks to my favorites and saved a screen pic of the crimp chart to my phone. Awesome stuff folks, just plain awesome!!!
Thanks! Glad it helped!
Lots to know. I ordered a few items today. Doing sun shades over my pool. This project is NOT CHEAP!!! Everything I purchased is T-316 S.S. hardware. Thank you for educating me so my project comes out safe and right!
What a tremendous instructional video - thank-you! You have certainly set the standard as to how these types of videos should be produced and presented.
Thanks John!
You guys make the best videos, informative, not dragging and to the point.
Awesome. Brief, to the point, and filled with excellent tips. Now I need to go find some zinc/copper swages to match my stainless steel wire rope...
Me too!
Super helpful. Excellent information about zinc copper sleeves vs aluminum on stainless wire rope (5:00 into video). Thanks E-Rigging!
Thanks for watching! Glad it was helpful
Excellent. That is how a technical presentation should be. Thank you!
AMAZING VIDEO. now this is a premium content with perfect presentation. thank you.
the course of the video answered any possible questions I was going to have, thank you!
Thanks, We're glad we could help out!
i agree. without over talking.

Fantastic explanation. Quick and thorough. Well done. Thanks for the help.
aaaand i am returning the aluminum sleeves. Thanks!
Well done. I learned a lot. Quick and thorough. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Forget about the crimping sleeve, I was lost with this handsome!
Thank you so much for this information. Even though it showed me that I have been doing it all wrong.
Glad it helped!
thanks for these easy to understand and learn videos, it really helped a lot
Thank you!

Sorocaba -SP 🇧🇷 marcando presença no belo vídeo de informações...
Excellent video on swaging cables. Thank you for making it.
We are glad that it helped!
Now I’m a CZcams certified swage expert
Greatly informative! Especially enjoy learning something new that will make life on our farm easier. Thank You!
Hey, if we can make life a little easier on the farm, then I think we've done our job well! Thanks for watching Christopher!
Thanks for the video, off to re cable my popup camper
this video is great, thanks for not wasting my time
Thanks for the info. I needed some clarification. I was about to use the sleeves the wrong way :)
5:00 According to MS51844 zinc plated copper sleeves should be used on steel cable and tin plated copper or stainless steel sleeves should be used on stainless steel cable (CRES).
Yes, @catranger01, MS51844 does call for Tin plated copper sleeves when using stainless steel cable because Tin does have a slightly less corrosive reaction than Zinc when in contact with stainless steel. However, stainless steel cable swaged with zinc plated copper sleeves are time tested in both land-based and marine applications worldwide, and do satisfy loading holding and corrosion resistance standards for many typical applications. Strict adherence to coating types outlined in the government standard MS51844 is critical for regulated applications such as airplane manufacturing and military contracts. These fittings shouldn’t be used for overhead lifting applications. It is always recommended to get a qualified person to design and approve your application before using rigging assemblies. Please let us know if you have any questions or comments, Have a great day!
Thanks for the added detail on this specific topic. I had the same question but now I'm still wondering if I can use plain copper on stainless wire rope, just because they're easier to find. Any experience with that combination?
Do aluminum sleeves have any place in this discussion?
My application is not critical but I tend to try to do things perfect even when it doesn't matter...
Thank you!
One of the best videos I have ever seen! Thank you!
You've clearly never watched porn lol
Thank you , all my questions answered ! You are great sir
Fantastic info. Love why and what for
This video makes me feel old because when I was taught rigging we learnt how to splice wire ropes.
Great video. Looked at a different one first and it showed nothing on how the make a proper crimp... thank you erigging...
Everything i needed to know, thanks!
No problem!
excellent info vid. Got all the details I needed for a minor project.
Great to hear!
Valuable piece of information 5:00👌🏿👍🏿
Thanks for this great vid.
It’s exactly what I was looking for! 🎉
Awesome! Glad it was helpful!
OUTSTANDING video with valuable information!
What about overhead lifting, such as a platform lift ?
With properly swaged eye-splices, you can successfully suspend rigging overhead. As long as you're not shock-loading and you're within WLL, then you should be fine. You can read more on the blog here bit.ly/3IvgehA
Helpful information, thank you for sharing !!
How long would an aluminium swage sleeve on steel cable last vs zinc-copper? References?
perfect explanation, thanks a lot! (next time please without any kind of music!)
Who's going to buy a swage plier to clamp one terminal end loop? I'm using two swages and a punch and hammer. for my truck winch wire replacement. works a treat. Drill a hole in the join of two thick peices of steel slightly larger dia than the wire to clamp and hammer the swages.
Totally get where you're coming from about the hassle, but safety is super important when you're towing or winching. While a lot of folks like the security and termination efficiency of swaged eye splices for winch wire ropes, if you're just doing a one-time job, using wire rope clips can be a great alternative. They're easy to use and still handle the load safely. See this video for more wire rope clip information: czcams.com/video/HKt6kswEAXo/video.html
Always wondered how to do this, sorry I didn't see it before I became old.
🗜🛠 I'm wondering if anyone's found crimping dies with the round bite(s) shown here, for the huge 11 ton hydraulic crimpers?
I see eRigging has a 5 ton hyd crimper tool stating to use the #10 die, which appears to be a round bite, but I don't need another tool just the dies.
Everywhere I look I see hexagonal bites for electric lugs. I suppose if there's nothing premade I could try making a few sizes from steel flat bar.
What are the maximum allowable widths after swaging 1/8" wire rope with an aluminum stop button and with an aluminum hourglass sleeve?
Nice video, but why is there distracting music playing when I'm trying to hear what my guy here is saying? I don't get it. It's not even real music, just a constant beat.
I know right im
Can hear him perfectly.

@Mickey Mook Don’t be a Karen 🙀
Excellent put downs. First class, really. But no answers. Any answers?
Ditto - Very informative! Thank you.
Finally... This is awesome technique .. very helpfull..
Amazing video, very professional, thank you!
Thank you very much!
Great video! this series is very helpful
Thanks so much! Let us know if there are any other instructional videos we might be able to make to help you out.
Thanks a lot, a whole lot of excellent information.
This video is very well done. Thank you
I need rings to keep my titanium stove pipe together thats rolled up. Could you please tell me what you would recommend?
Thank you so much for making this very informative video. I have a vinyl coated stainless steel rope that has diameter of 1/16 bare wire and 3/32 diameter coated. And I bought sleeves for 3/32 diameter. But now, I learned that I should cut the vinyl before putting on the sleeve. Is it okay to still use the 3/32 sleeve since it will anyway flatten upon swaging?
same. i just learned about the cutting of the vinyl coating as well
excelent video and presentation easy to follow understand...
Glad it was helpful!
excellent video thank you.
What is the standard that specifies this type of sling?
thank-you for the most excellent video on your products !
:) Here is something else I and everyone I know has never used correctly.
Excellent video. Well done.
Can I use this crimping to to crimp mono lines for fishing
Great video! Very informative!
How much weaker is the connection if the vinyl is left on? What percentage range would you estimate? I only need around 15% of the working load for my application but I did it over the vinyl. 1/8" cable
Good question. Vinyl coating should always be stripped prior to the swage since the vinyl can loosen and slip out. We've seen lots of swage failures over the years due to leaving the vinyl coating on. So, in your case, we recommend that the cable assembly be replaced. Thanks for the comment and good luck with your project!
Thanks you answered all my questions
Happy to help
I wonder if you could use one of those hydraulic crimpers for electrical connections?
Great video. Thank you very much.
One question, at the start of the video, your loops are very tight and leverage a U shaped loop. On all the demonstrations however, it isn't there.
In order to constantly lift and drop a plow on my ATV using the wench, should I use a small loop with the U shaped tool over and above the sleeve ? Or make the look bigger without the U shape?
Aside from that, great video. I wasn't doing 2 or 3 swages the last 2 times I did this so I probably was loosing cable strength. Learned a lot from your video. Thanks again.
Great question, Phillipe. Wire Rope Thimbles are a great way to protect cable strands from abrasion or crushing that can occur from constant use. While they're not required, many prefer them in an assembly like yours. Thanks for the comment, and we're glad you like the video!
I have a project requiring aluminum ferrels for 1/8 inch wire rope so I purchased 1/8 inch ferrels. The problem is, I was not able to put the cable through the ferrell because the ferrel was too small. Unfortunately, this video did not address sizes.
Not sure for you But airplane cable get a tin plated copper only not zinc plated copper. For corrosion purposes.
This is a great video, thanks... any other crimping method if you don't have the tool? thanks
People have come up with lots of other incorrect ways to smash these fittings with hammers or vises, but those methods may fatigue the aluminum sleeve in a way that will promote cracking and failing. Using any other method than an appropriate tool is not recommended as there is no consistency in their load holding ability or fatigue life.
Well done video - done well.
Una pregunta resiste una guaya de 1/8 gracias si me responde en español
Dónde puedo conseguir esa herramienta
Do you have a table where i can see the swaged dimensions, to check if the crimps were done in a proper way? Thanks.
Outstanding video, thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Nice video, to mucj important things
Thanks. Got a new Rudder control mechanism for a Kayak, foot controls. 1/16 th in. wire. What is that plastic stuff over the end called how it is sized etc.
Hi Joseph. If you're referring to the dead of the cable, we used electrical tape to seize the end.
