Default Hello Surprised

The idea of using Nicropress fittings is to affix a wire which is around a thimble. It is the use of a thimble which degrades the ultimate strength of the end result. A thimble can collapse and the wire must have a very large thimble in order to approach the wire's maximum strength. with a swaged termination no thimble is necessary and maximum line strength is approached to the point of an effective 100% strength.
