Swaging Hack

After attempting to crimp the original sleeves during the first rigging, we learned that it was more difficult than we thought.  It included a hammer, an angle, and an anvil, plus someone who’s mad enough to hammer hard, and someone whose brave enough to help hold.  We gambled and bought a $20 swaging tool to do all the aluminum sleeves for rigging.  After reading lots of bad reviews on Home Depot’s website, we made the conclusion that we could hack it to make it work, and we did!  It crimps like butter. 🙂
