Anybody have one of those nice expensive hand swaging tools I can borrow to do 4 cables? I was going to buy the econo version from spruce for $18 but would rather use one of the nicer units.
Please email or PM if you have one to loan for a short period of time.
Thanks

In case you end up needing to buy the econo tool, rest assured it works nicely. I have used mine for swaging many cables over the past 15 years. Put some lube on the bolt threads to keep the tool working smoothly.
 
As long as the swaged cable meets the proper deminsions once swaged, then the econo tool will work for you just fine. Just because the tool is cheaper doesn't mean that it will not do as good of a job. I have a swager, but it is currently being lent out to someone else at the moment, otherwise I would send it to ya.
