It involves looping back the end of a cable onto a ferrule and crimping it in place to make an eye loop. You can also put a thimble inside the loop to make it strong and to protect the cable from chaffing. When swaging cables and wire ropes, you can use regular oval sleeves or double barrel ferrules.
I prefer the double-barrel or hourglass sleeves because they have two separate holes that allow you to put the rope through more easily.
As I mentioned, all swagers need long handles in order to provide good mechanical advantage. So, when shopping for hand swaging pliers, you must make sure that the handles are long enough to provide the leverage you need to compress the sleeves.
The handles should also be strong and solid to remain straight even under intense pressure. If the handles are flimsy, they will flex and bend permanently when you squeeze them so hard. Crimping range or swager capacity is the number of notches on the jaws for compressing swage sleeves. Some swaging pliers have a single slot while others have multiple slots.
Those with multiple slots offer a bigger crimping range. So, when selecting the best swager for your project, I suggest you go for those with more than one swaging position. They are more versatile because you can use them to compress different ferrule sizes.
Some swaging pliers have integrated cutters that are hardened enough to cut steel cables and wire ropes. So if you do not want to carry along an extra pair of heavy duty wire cutters, I suggest you go for swagers with cutters.
Unfortunately, very few hand swagers have cutters that cut steel cables repeatedly without taking a beating. So, the lack of integrated cutters on your favorite swager should not be a deal-breaker. You might still want to carry your trusty wire shear cutters, anyway.
A good swaging tool must have adjustable jaws for accommodating different ferrule designs. The two main designs are oval and hourglass. Glarks Up To 2. Swpeet Profession Up To 2.

In some cases, we say the more cavities the better. Cavities refer to the amount notches on the head of your tool for different sizes of swage sleeves. Some of our Cable Swagers have a single cavity, whereas others have up to six notches for multipurpose use across different swage sleeve sizes and levels of compression. The oval is a standard egg-shaped swage sleeve that is designed to bind the end of a wire rope into a loop. They are used for non-critical applications on a line and are stronger than stop sleeves.
