Bench Swaging Tool for 1/16–3/16 in Cable

This bench-mounted swager forms loops and splices in wire rope from 1/16 in up to 3/16 in. It works with aluminum and copper oval sleeves plus aluminum stop sleeves across the same range. The 26 in handle provides leverage for hand-operated compression. It suits rigging shops, marine yards and maintenance teams that terminate cable on site.

Bolt to bench and operate by hand

The unit mounts to a workbench with bolts (not included) and requires no external power or hydraulic supply. A cable cutter is not built in, so the rope must be cut to length beforehand. Select the correct sleeve size for the cable diameter; mismatched sleeves produce weak joints. Keep the dies clean and aligned to avoid slippage during compression.

Cable range 1/16 in to 3/16 in

The tool accepts six cable sizes: 1/16, 3/32, 1/8, 5/32, 3/16 and 7/32 in. Oval sleeves cover the first five sizes; stop sleeves add 7/32 in. Copper oval sleeves stop at 3/16 in. If your wire rope falls outside this range, the dies will not close properly and the fitting will not hold.

Questions about this item

How do I verify the 26 in bench swager is producing correct loops after setup?

Make a test loop on each compatible cable size from 1/16 in through 3/16 in using the matching aluminum oval sleeves; the finished loop should hold without slippage when pulled by hand.

What comes in the box with the LOOS #1-BSC and what must I buy separately?

The tool ships as the bench swager only; you must purchase compatible aluminum or copper oval sleeves, stop sleeves, and cable in sizes 1/16 in to 3/16 in separately.

Which sleeve and cable sizes should I choose for the 1/16-3/16 in swager?

Select aluminum oval sleeves in 1/16 in, 3/32 in, 1/8 in, 5/32 in or 3/16 in; stop sleeves add 7/32 in; copper oval sleeves match the oval range.
