Customer Reviews for VEVOR Hand Swager Crimper 30 Inch ,Swaging Tool for 5/32" 1/4" 5/16" Wire Rope,Hand Cimping Tool for Copper Aluminum Oval Sleeves and Stop Sleeves,Wire Rope Crimping Tool Swage Tool Long Handle Lab

This is a must for 3/8" wire rope cable, you will need a bench mounted vise for easier crimping. The #1 reason I bought this is because when using the cables with clamps (X3 clamps each end), at max pull (12,000 pound pull) they slipped! I cannot have this happen EVER. I maid up a 75' cable and put it to the test. I LOVE IT. No moving from the original crimped position. I do recommend.

Good product very satisfying

This tool absolutely works and the price is reasonable. I can't image a way that a single person could ever use this device. I am not even sure how two people could make it work. I had to put the tool in a vice that I have mounted to a tractor. It took my full body weight to get the tool to close. The swages are good but the process is difficult. It is not the tools fault, it just takes a lot of force to swage 3/8 cable. Without the vice set up I know I could not have done it by myself.

This is a great heavy duty tool and does everything it is supposed to do. However, you better eat a big breakfast or invite friends over if you plan to crimp the larger sizes. Its a bear to squeeze the handles shut!

it will crimp. I put mine in a vise and bepulled one handle. if you could buy smaller dies for smaller wire that would be great

Worked great. Easy operation with one handle braced against solid surface. Good final crimp.

Ordered and arrived quickly. Was able to use this product very easily and it was very satisfied with the instructions. Would highly recommend.

'- Update - 1/11/2019------------------------------------Seller actually refunded the entire purchase price! I never asked for that in any way which took me by surprise. What can I say, this company actually cares about customer satisfaction which is rare these days! For that I increased my rating to 5 stars! If they just increase the length of the handles on the crimper to about 40-48" it would be perfect in my opinion. I intend on doing just that very thing in the near myself so as to not injury myself!------------------------------------The crimper works just fine and seems to be a quality tool but the handles are way to short for the size sleeves that its suppose to handle!We were crimping on 1/4" zinc cooper sleeves for stainless steel cable and I'm not a weak person at all (I lift weights almost everyday) and I could barely close the handles on the zinc copper sleeves without giving myself a freaking hernia! So for the rest of the day to play it safe, my dad and I teamed up to crimp the sleeves together and that wasn't no easy task!If the handles were about 12" - 18" longer this crimper would be absolutely perfect (just my opinion). I can only imagine the amount of force it takes to crimp an 5/16" aluminum sleeve (now that's a scary thought)!I'll be doing a video review of this crimper on my YouTube channel (Weaver Cattle Company) eventually if you want to see just what I'm talking about!'

Quality tool, built to last. I am very happy with this purchase.

Not easy to find or rent a pair like this. For the money, it's well worth owning your own.
