Machine Swage (swaj): Fittings are attached to the cable by means of a cold forming press. The completed fitting has a smooth uniform appearance and will develop full cable strength. Swaging services can be performed by professional riggers and sling manufacturers.

Hand Crimp: Hand Crimp is available in 1/8" & 3/16" cable only. Fittings are attached to the cable using a simple hand tool (allows field installation). The completed fitting will provide approximately 65-70% of the 7x7 cable strength. We can provide the necessary tool.
