Reply to: Hobie 16 rigging cheaper to make own wire lines?

[quote=Dogboy]Not that hard or difficult...maybe. But it still has to be done RIGHT. Stainless steel wire rope is very strong stuff, but it loses a huge amount of its strength when discontinuities, imperfections, or damage are introduced from improper swaging of end fittings. The professional shops have the equipment and know how to build and test wire rigging that the average home builder just doesn't have. A basic hand swage tool is simply not going to produce the same product as a professional hydraulic swaging equipment. The pro shops also have the know how and tools to properly inspect and proof test wire rope assemblies - something that home builders simply can not do. sm[/quote]
