Anyone know anything about the Campbell hand swaging tool? The price is about $200 less than the "real" nicopress tool but I'm wondering if the cable will know the difference?????I saw an article several years ago (by Bill Rewey I think...) about how to drill out a cable cutter to make an effective swaging tool...so I wonder if this one might also do the job satisfatorily.It's on eBay at:

Subject: RE: Pietenpol-List: Campbell swaging tool???I bought a single action (like bolt cutter) type swager from Home depot about two years ago for $26. Look in the fencing department. I didn't need them, but bought them anyway since I really would have liked to have them when I built my piet!Stevee

This is the same we used on 6 airplanes. It is adjustable. You can buy it locally (Tractor Supply) if you have one nearby. My suggestion is to buy a GO/NO-GO gauge fron A/Spruce and adjust the pinch to the correct setting, a very simple adjustment.Barry----- Original Message -----

I was reading in one of my magazines that if you know a builder in Oklahoma, thenyou don't need to buy one for your airplane. Let me know when you buy the tool and get it figured out for the perfect clamppressure. Then put me first on the listto borrow it since I won't need my own!You got that part coveredJohnBout time you got back in the gameHope all is well with you on the ranch!Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry-----Original Message-----
