For steel wire rope. Create your own finished ropes either with a hard (thimble) eye or a soft eye, this simple compression tool facilitates the use of ferrules to give your wire rope a professional finish. Please note that sizes used for ferrules relate to Standard A size. The figures in brackets relate to DIN ferrules which have a thinner wall than British Standard. We do not recommend this tool for terminating lifting wires as it is difficult to achieve a compressed ferrule with the exact recommended final dimensions to achieve maximum loading.
