OK for those who make Wolf Fangs = Have some questions? FNT make the best Wolf Fangs?? I found a cheaper Wolf Fang bought 100s of them BUT they dont fix my driver. Had to open up driver. Also = 3/32 ferrules? Im using a hand crimp now. Did 100 the other day. Plus 100 or so to day. Looked at benchrest model? Recomendations?

ALSO. = Why doesnt know one make a crimper that you just crimp a =3/32 ferrules one time??? Why do you have to crimp twice?? Seams dumb to me ! I dont care if it 500 dollars. I may have a machinist build me a crimper that crimps ALL the way across a 3/32

May do few more

Here is a WCP Wolf Fang. Want fit on my driver. Had to open up

Plus. = Felco 7 ? Good cable cutter? Got some that were supposed to be here yesterday BUT blame the late mail or fedex or ups on Covid everyone says Got a 12 dollar pair of cutters from ACE

Making 14 inch Wolf Fangs. On 3/32 Korean cable now. Is Korean cable better?

Felco is a good brand held in high regard.

They do make a single cavity crimper in 1/16 not sure about larger sizes. The single cavity I'm speaking of looks like a cable cutter so it may be a leverage thing.

Doible crimping spreads the load over the length of the ferrule, yes a pia. Maybe one made up like the two piece die and bolt crimper could be made to do both at once. But it would be slower still.

I know southern snares uses a hydraulic press type crimper but that's not nice to the wallet nor exactly portable.

Don't know on the different makes. I think mine are freedom brand, I'd have to look. They fit just fine and I like them better than super stakes as they are easier to pull. Though I've bent a few and busted ferrules pulling. I also have noticed that the longer a cable is in the ground (acid soils) or reused the greater the likelihood of rusting out in the middle and breaking.

I prefer the fnt wolf fangs. I’ve tried other cheaper brand ones and the tab break’s off sometimes when driving into hard ground. That’s also using chain and welded s hooks.

Wolf Fang = Freedom Brand + FNT fit on MB driver , FNT driver, AND Custom Driver I got from you Hammer . BUT Wolf Fang WCP fit on NONE of the other 3 . So I guess their cheaper to buy but not as uniform

Warrior I may do 1500 plus a year so, I might be willing to pay alittle for a 3/32 crimper that will do the job without to crimps. Think of all the time it would save

A good bench mounted swagger will speed things up a bit. The made in Japan ARM Bench Swagger 1/16 - 3/16 is a good one it also has a built in Cable Cutter. The Snare Shop has them listed for 215.00 $$ free shipping. I make my anchors with 1/8th 7x7 cable with 5 links of # 3 chain on the end. Hope this helps.

Korean cable is the high quality cable that makes great snares. When you buy premium cable from reputable suppliers, it’s more than likely Korean cable.

For earth anchors that are at times disposable, I just buy whatever 7x7. As long as it’s not POOR quality, it works fine for this.

Will it crimp 3/32 in one crimp all the way across ?

No, I have never seen a hand operated swagger that would?

Ok thanks. My question is = If my gunsmith can build a rifle action out of a block of steel. Why cant we build a 1 shot crimper? Would people that trap not but 1 ? It could cost me more than 500 bucks to build? Wouldnt it pay for itself in time? I seriously want to have one built

Would it be possible to add a plate onto the side or sides of the crimper jaws? File or grind the plate to match the crimp slots?

My quess is yes ! What if you took the crimping piece off the tool then had a machinest double it? Just make a bigger copy ? Im not look to sell it. Not really trying to rip off someone’s else design Just make a better one

I would think that’s doable. There’s a lot of talented metal workers out there!

Snare shop has one that says it does full swages with one compression. I don't know if that's full length or something else. I've also ran into Wolf fangs that don't fit the driver. I think they were Freedom brand. I just used a file on the insides of the stake to make it fit. Took a few hits on each side to get them in the driver.
