Choosing a ferrule
Match the ferrule to the wire rope diameter, because a ferrule that is the wrong size will not hold. Aluminium ferrules are common for general rigging and are light, and copper ferrules are traditional for rope terminations. The Hobson ferrule is listed for machine swaging, so it suits workshops with a swaging machine. Use the right press or swaging tool and dies for the ferrule and rope size.
Always check the data sheet. Confirm the ferrule size, the rope it suits and the swaging method before you make a termination, and test the finished loop.
