I have used them only setting up a clothes line for a friend. Be sure you let the lines lay out in direct sun light before installing. They will sag if not warmed up. Also be sure that the turnbuckles have sufficient draw in length and are strong enough to handle the load.
I'm with Paul. I know what ferrules are and I know what swaged tubing is but how do you use ferrules to "make swage" in steel cables?
I believe there is a mixture of terminology here. Swaged fitting are for plumbing and there is a company named Swagelock. Some of these fitting contain a two part ferrule for the best and strongest joint. The crimp connector is a steel sleeve that is crimped on the cable with special tools. On steel cables it is usually hydraulic in nature. I made more than cables than I care to remember.
Yeah OK So you mean cable ferrules like this:
Just never heard the term swaged used in conjunction with them however. I have used them before on small cable but prefer cable saddle clamps.
Just remember to NEVER saddle a dead horse.
That's the easy way to remember which way the clamps are supposed to be installed. The U-bolt goes around the dead non- load bearing end and the saddle goes around the live load bearing end.
