Customer Reviews for Everbilt 3/16 in. Aluminum Ferrule and Stop Set

These are awesome quality and will continue to use them as I please. I crimp my own cable for my DIY Home Gym Cable Crossover Chest Fly Machine. Refer to pictures

I picked these up to repair the eye loop where the shackle attaches to the winch cable on my trailer. The description says it is rated for light duty so even though a 3/16 wire rope is rated for about 4,000 pounds you need to bear that in mind. And no overhead lifting. You get two ferrules and two stops, so this could be used to join two cables as well. You really should use a swaging tool with these, as proper swaged these will have a lot more holding power. Home depot carries the tool and they are not very expensive.

Wire rope is easily cut with an angle grinder and a 40 grit metal cut off wheel. Then wire rope can be made into lengths or extended to hold up or form barriers. This ferrule is used with 3/16" wire rope. You can form an eye loop in the end by adding a thimble. You can also connect 2 lengths wire rope using a ferrule. A swaging tool is essential to compress the ferrule correctly and 2 people are needed to keep it in position. The stop is used to prevent the end from moving. I use these aluminum ferrules to hold up the stainless steel wire rope that holds up the mast on my sailboat. The wire rope does not last in the salt air and at the first sign of one strand breaking I replace the entire wire rope. I do not need the wire rope breaking under stress while under sail. The ferrules out last the wire rope.

need to ground my shed so it didn't blow over from the storms. With some chain it did the trick.

Reliable product likely use it in the future again

Good parts easy to install and use.

Perfect for steel cable fittings—easy to crimp and deliver a custom finished look.

Dislike you did not have the swaggering tool

It arrived undamaged and it was easy to put together. The handle that you pull to run it looks cheap and I worry that it will break after multiple uses. The motor and tilling tines look well made. I haven't had the chance to run it yet, but I had another model and it worked great! It's lightweight and will be easy to use for older people.

I have used these many times and they work great.

Getting more expensive

These are the easiest and cleanest way of securing cable. I highly recommend

Ferrules fit perfectly on the plastic coated 3/16 wire sold by the foot. Please note you need a tool to secure these on the wire. A pair of pliers won’t do the job!

It worked well for my cable drum setup. I used two of them to double up just in case one slipped through cable.

Used these on 3/16" steel cable and after applying 4 crimps to each ferrule, the cable still pulled out. The inner holes are simply too oversized.
