Review on 5/32" 50PCS HIGOOD Aluminum Crimping Loop Sleeve For Wire Rope And Cable by Carlos Jass

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect for 1/4 " OD stainless steel aircraft cable.

Recently, there were several thefts in the area. Today, I completed a project where I added extra heavy duty anti-theft hardware to my ground mount solar panels. Having invested considerable money in the panels, I didn't want to have them stolen when I'm away from home.I used 1/4" 6,000 lb. stainless steel aircraft cable that I needed to crimp loops for a center lock using these 1/4" HIGOOD Wire Rope Sleeves. Using a 16 ton hydraulic crimping tool, I was able to make perfect crimps. I think a standard sleeve compression tool would work just as well with these but I don't have one. The loops I made are not going to be pulled apart. Anyone who wants my panels had better come with some specialized tools the average person doesn't own to steel them.

Pros
  • worked as described
Cons
  • Can be difficult to crimp properly without experience
