This started out working great, but after only doing 3- 8' cables, where it is crimped on both ends, it stopped working. I had made sure there was oil in it, but noticed the plastic "O" ring is cracked. They sent an extra one, but no instructions on how to replace. Instructions themselves were horrid and not helpful at all. Wish I had gotten to this project earlier, but after purchasing, other things took priority, so my return window has come and gone. When looking up warranty, it just takes you back to Amazon. Can't even find a company website.The company noticed my review and offered to send a replacement, even though the return window had passed. Kudos to this company for standing by their product. Still wish there were better instructions, but now we can finish our deck railing.

Description is deceptive in that it says "...wire swaging tool for 1/8" and 3/16" cable railing hardware.", and is sold by the supplier of cable railing materials.However the dies do deform after 2-3 crimps and the crimper clearly states on its label "do only crimp Cu and Al conductors"Do not use for railing projects as the crimps are suspect in their holding capacity

The tools work great. The crimper and the cutter performed great.The case is terrible. None of the dies stay in place when opened.

I bought this to use it to make cable railing which it did great. So easy to use. Love it.

I decided to replace the life lines on my boat. This swager made life much easier but it really, really takes two people to operate (one to hold the parts in place and one to squeeze the ever-loving dickens out of the swager).Thanks to this tool, a $2000 job cost me less than $500 (and it would have been even less if I had just remembered to measure six times and swage once).

Me parece muy bien que tenga iman para un trabajo más cómodo, y que regrese sola.

I use this to crimp 3/16" adjustable ends onto 3/16" cable. It worked extremely well and very easy to use and when you do this correctly that crimped end is not coming off. I saved a ton of money by getting this do it yourself rather than higher some company that was going to take me to the cleaners on this extensive renovation of cables that were 4 years old. Has some other reviewers have stated the Clipper is useless, use 4" metal cut off wheel to cut any cable

These are ok and will do a small job. Think about investing in something better if you have a big job or do this professionally. The cable cutters hurt your hands you have to squeeze soo hard on 1/8th in cable...but they do work. I ended up buying some with longer handles because I had a big job and didn't want to use the small ones anymore. The hydraulic clamping tool works, but had to change out the o-rings in the one job I am doing. They ship it with a spare set of O-rings so they must expect some sort of failure. After extended use I had to turn the control knob very hard to get full pressure, and then work hard to loosen it every time I made a clamp, which became annoying and hard on my fingers. This tends to get worse with use. So, in summary, this kit does do the job, but it is a low cost buy, not a high value tool. 3 stars because it did work for the money. Really, when you consider the low cost it could stretch to 4 stars, but...

Great product. Working in 90 degree weather the crimpers lost a little power in the sun. But that would be expected. It does come with seal kit which I may be using before project is over. I completed an upper landing today and was very pleased.
