Bryan,
The
only acceptable cable swage tool (nicopress) I have found is made
by National Telephone Supply Co. We manufacture parts for Boeing and used
an “off brand” to swage sleeves on non-critical parts until we
found the crimps were not holding. Now we use nothing but National
Telephone. The price is high, but a rudder cable coming loose is much
worse. The “off brand stuff” was over $150 as I
remember. At $18…. I would simply never go there.

Does anybody have a good rudder cable swage tool I can
borrow to do my rudder cables?
I was going to buy the hand version from spruce for $18 but
I would rather use something better if anybody has one to loan out.
