Nicopress Swaging Tool - Availability

Oh, that's where this thread went...

I used the inexpensive tool (the one that uses two bolts for the
clamping force) the other day for several swages on 1/8 cable.

A word to the wise-

Mine came with lockwashers at the top of those bolts, I'm not sure
why either, they don't add to the functionality of the tool. Take
them off and replace them with regular flat washers!!! One of them
began digging into the body of the tool, and it is now more difficult
to turn that one bolt because the tool is damaged.

Anyway, it makes good swages- the go/no-go gauge fits over with a
slight amount of play- the swages are tight enough plus a little bit
more.

It's funny how the second time you do a job it takes half as long as
the first time.

Could squish that tool in the bench vise also, as long as you can take the cable to vice....

Nonsense.. Once again, Mr. Shop Jock .....
You have confused r.a.h. with your favorite cartoon channel.

P.S.
Granted, there is little difference on occasion....
but, that ain't necessarily a bad thing. (8+Q
