It could be that doing two compressions with one pull might not allow for elongation of the ferrule. But then again I've seen professionally done crimps on other cabled gear that looked to be either a one shot crimp or done by perfectionist who could do duplicator work. Has to be a way to do 1 crimp. Just think of all the time it would save ! LoL!

I use a bench mounted swagger I do 3 squeeze pulls one right one left then the middle I believe it gives me the best hold that way, you will notice the ferrule shifts material around when you crush it so use that to your advantage then. Your real issue might be wrestling with that hand crimper around the right tool for the job makes all the difference you’ll see.

Interesting. Pre drill a 1 inch hole and it still work? I don't pre-drill but that would make it easier. I make my drivers out of hardened 5/8" hex-shaped rebar. I cut the end slots with my chop saw.

I buy the washers and nails in bulk. Last batch of supplies I bought (about a year ago) I could make them for about 11 cent each including the 15" of 3/32" cable.
