This idea was plagurized from another trailer sailor. It works great and didn't cost much since I had almost everything already on the boat. I used garage door cable.(galvanized steel I believe) aluminum nicopress (not that much stress here) Home Depot sell a nicopress squeezer/crimper for $30? couldn't believe it. My days of cranking on those bolt together crimpers are over. I replaced my aft stay using this tool with stainless and copper nicopress sleeves. Worked great. Go/no go gauge verifies the crimp is adequate. Anyways.........
