For steel wire ropes. Makes up your own wire rope assemblies 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. N.B. That sizes used for ferrules relates to standard A size. The figures in brackets relate to EN 13411-3 ferrules. EN 13411-3 ferrules are slightly longer but have a thinner wall than the old British standard ferrules. 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.
