Review on 50-Pack 3/16 Inch Aluminum Alloy Wire Rope Stop Sleeve HIGOOD by Michael Shim

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Larger diameter than previous ones from another vendor

The larger diameter (thicker wall) makes these much harder to crimp (and I have a 2 foot long crimper) than my previous ones and makes them squeeze out enough that they get stuck in the crimper 100% of the time and have to be knocked out. Tried the next size up die, but then they aren’t big enough to crimp down on the cable. Just the perfect awkward size to be a problem. Other than that, once crimped they do the job just fine.

Pros
  • These worked perfectly for the cables that are used for our local gym's weight machines.
Cons
  • The wire rope stop sleeves may not be designed to withstand heavy loads, limiting their potential applications
