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!
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.
Wildly helpful. I was wondering how to get the plastic wrapping into the sleeve. Now I know to cut it off. Thank you!
You are a credit to your profession and E-Rigging. You just saved me from making a bad mistake.
Best made and most informative video I have found on the subject! Thank you!
Thanks!
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 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 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!
Finally a video that explains why swaging even works ! It's those valley bruh!
Tavis Gustafson those valleys are “pitted” bruh.

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!
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
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.
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.
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!
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!

Great video. Looked at a different one first and it showed nothing on how the make a proper crimp... thank you erigging...
Excellent video. Well done.
Now I’m a UA-cam certified swage expert
Thanks a lot, a whole lot of excellent information.
This video makes me feel old because when I was taught rigging we learnt how to splice wire ropes.
OUTSTANDING video with valuable information!
Ditto - Very informative! Thank you.
excelent video and presentation easy to follow understand...
Glad it was helpful!
Finally... This is awesome technique .. very helpfull..
Amazing video, very professional, thank you!
Thank you very much!
:) Here is something else I and everyone I know has never used correctly.
Always wondered how to do this, sorry I didn't see it before I became old.
How long would an aluminium swage sleeve on steel cable last vs zinc-copper? References?
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.
What are the maximum allowable widths after swaging 1/8" wire rope with an aluminum stop button and with an aluminum hourglass sleeve?
This video is very well done. Thank you
perfect explanation, thanks a lot! (next time please without any kind of music!)
Well done video - done well.
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
Great video! Very informative!
Thanks you answered all my questions
Happy to help
thank-you for the most excellent video on your products !
Outstanding video, thanks!
Glad you liked it!
excellent
What is the standard that specifies this type of sling?
Dónde puedo conseguir esa herramienta
Brilliant video, thanks
Very welcome
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
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: ua-cam.com/video/HKt6kswEAXo/v-deo.html
🗜🛠 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.
Good video
Thanks!!!
Can I use this crimping to to crimp mono lines for fishing
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
I wonder if you could use one of those hydraulic crimpers for electrical connections?
Nice video, to mucj important things
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!
Great info!!!!
Una pregunta resiste una guaya de 1/8 gracias si me responde en español
I like the bench swager...
