Tony,
You should check out a 'ships store' or a yachting place that sells and/or repairs sailboat rigging. Lots of cable in the stays and shrouds and some of the running lines as well.

There is a tool,about the size and weight of a bolt cutter that is the crimping tool for cable.The crimps come in all sizes.

It is a must have tool on sailboats that actually go anywhere.

Dennis M. is on the coast with a boat.Wouldn't surprise me if he knows exactly what I'm talking about.
