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. 

Thanks Bryan
