Ferrul swager

[wburke2010]

Looking to pickup a swager for crimping ferrules I go through a good amount of them making cables for trailer ramp pins and the such. My mechanic has one of the hand two piece ones that you tighten down with a wrench but I am looking for one that is like a pair of bolt cutters. Any recommendations.

Not sure if it's applicable to the type of swaging you are doing but I bought a large crimper style tool at TSC in the electric fence section. Haven't used it a ton but has worked well so far. Might check that company's website.

I picked up one at West Marine, the length is about 18 inches does two or three sizes.
I have a battery cable lug crimper that has rotating dies and goes down to about 1/8, it is about 30 inches long so not much they will not crimp.

I don't remember the brand, but we have 2 sets of the bolt cutter style swag tool. The big set has a hook on the side for cutting cable. The cutter has been very handy. I'll check the brand at work on Monday.

It looks a lot like this one:

This will fit your needs- http://ddmgaragedoors.com/parts/part/CCR-10.html. We work on garage doors and carry this one on the truck. We didn't get it from that particular place, but I'm fairly positive it is the same one we have.

Yeah, I was surprised several months ago to see my HD stock these. Are they any good?
