How To Use a Hand Swage Tool 

Learn how to use a hand swager to crimp the end of stainless wire cable balustrade fittings.

Step 1

• Take Ferrule and slide it through your wire in one hole
• Loop it back on itself and go back through the other Ferrule hole to create a loop knot

Step 2

• Grab thimble and attach to the loop then pull the Ferrule back up on itself to secure in place

NOTE:  The point of the thimble is to protect the wire from other attachments and fasteners like a saddle

Step 3

• Grip your Hand Swager and Cutter and put in position on the Ferrule
• Apply pressure and squeeze to shut
• Use the cutter in your Hand Swager if you would like to cut and neaten the ends of the wire.
