All,

This information may be well known but I felt compelled to pass it along.

I've been searching for a Nicopress Swaging tool and choking on the
prices at the typcial aircraft supply companies.

Turns out that Lowes has a Campbell Nicipress tool, 1/16 to 1/8 of an
inch for $24.95. The tool is located in the rope,chain and stell cable
area.

I assume the less expense tool will perform adequately, based on
go/no-go verification.

Cheers,

Gary

BTW: As it turns out, the tools from Lowes was NOT, I repeat, NOT
sufficient for the nicopress compression sleeves.

Sorry about the false advertising! I ended up ordering an aviation
approved tool.

Regards,

Gary
