Hand swaging tool for 5/16 in oval sleeves with 28 in length and 25 in handles

  • Swage 5/16 in aluminum and copper sleeves securely
  • Single-cavity jaw handles 5/16 in oval sleeves precisely
  • 28 in tool length gives strong leverage for swaging
  • 25 in handles provide comfortable grip and control
  • Included go/no-go gauge verifies crimp quality instantly

Purpose and user

This 28 in hand swaging tool is built for technicians who terminate 5/16 in aluminium or copper oval sleeves on wire rope. The single-cavity jaw and 25 in handle length give the mechanical leverage needed for consistent crimps in rigging, marine and structural applications.

Build integration

The tool operates without external power or hydraulic supply, so it fits into a field kit alongside cable cutters and a go/no-go gauge. Its steel jaws accept only the specified 5/16 in oval sleeve size, leaving other sleeve profiles and larger diameters to dedicated equipment.

Sustained use

Steel jaw construction resists deformation during repeated crimping cycles on job sites. The fixed cavity eliminates adjustment time between operations, while the supplied go/no-go gauge lets the operator verify crimp integrity continuously without interrupting workflow.

Questions about this item

How many swages can the single cavity handle before the 28 in tool length becomes a leverage limit?

The tool has one cavity and a 28 in overall length; sustained use is limited by the single-cavity design rather than a stated cycle count.

What heat or fatigue builds in the steel jaws during all-day swaging of 5/16 in oval sleeves?

Steel jaws conduct the swaging force; no temperature rating or duty-cycle figure is provided for continuous operation.

Which 5/16 in cable and oval sleeves must I already own to use this hand swager?

It swages 5/16 in aluminum oval sleeves, 5/16 in copper oval sleeves and 5/16 in cable; the tool includes a Locoloc go/no-go gauge.
