Ok so I searched around on here for a bit and saw a lot of people talking bad things about the bolt cutter style swage tools you can get at home depot. Well I just picked one up for 20 bones and some of the aluminum swages they had there for 3/32" cable. Long story short, I took a trashed trap line and put 2 ends on it with this tool and swages and picked up a Ford 300 straight six and AOD transmission, then stood on it. Over 500 lbs.
