This durable tool has the ability to swage 1/32”, 3/64”, and 1/16” oval and stop sleeves that are copper and aluminum. 000-WCI has a built in cable cutters and is lightweight, weighing only 12 ounces. We recommend this tool for fishing leader line and very small lanyard assemblies.
Locoloc® #1-3-SBHS Handswager:
The small handheld #1-3-SBHS is a (4) cavity tool that swages sleeve sizes 1/32”, 3/64”, and 1/16” copper and aluminum sleeves. Alongside swaging copper and aluminum sleeves, the tool can swage 3/32” copper sleeves and 1/32” stainless steel sleeves. The ratchet mechanism on the tool will not release until after the swage is completed.
Locoloc® #0-3-SBHS-R Handswager:
The #0-3-SBHS-R is a (1) cavity tool that swages both copper and aluminum sleeves that are 3/32” in size. The length of the tool is 12” and like our other swagers, the 0-3-SBHS-R is small in size but the innovative design means the tool does a highly efficient job of swaging small sleeves.
