I used the budget one from Aircraft Spruce for all my cables in the XL. It
takes a little longer than a better tool, but it worked just fine. There
aren't that many swages to do anyway.

I am using the big professional one, also from Spruce, is like a chain cutter pliers but with the swages calibrated.
part number: 12-12400 SWAGING TOOL 1-SC WITH CUTTER
Also got the Go- noGo tool inexpensive but necesary:
13-03814 GA-1P GO NO-GO SLEEVE GAUGE
Bought them about 8 years ago, is the only one (we know) in the city and I have done all the swages myself in the homebuilts here (to keep track of the tool and quality of the process), I also am a Builder Adviser for the local EAA equivalent. So no problem to visit the project at the same time...

That one will do, but its limited in the size of the nicos.
The one in Spruce has for about 11 sizes of nicos and is about 2 or 3 times longer and well built...
Has been of lots of help to all the local builders. Expensive to buy for one project. But what good tool is expensive when used in our lifetime?
Yes, I thought of buying it for several minutes... but at the last moment I added to my order, was good I did.
One time I went to a Sears in Houston, Saw a great tool box, left it for another trip, still thinking and angry about it 5 years later...

Gig,
I bought one exactly like this on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Nicopress-Swage-Tool-20-inch-swaging-swager_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ26440QQitemZ4617475412QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW
This is good quality at a reasonable price. I
even loaned it to the A&P at work. He liked it...

Always yield to temptation -- it may not pass your way again!
Do not archive.

I have a tool that appears to be identical to the Aircraft Spruce economy
tool, I got it at Home Depot.

Make sure you check the squeezes for the correct diameter. American Champion
just had an AD for that on their factory built Nico-Press control cables.

Have a chat to your local boat yard if one is nearby....Those little nut
and bolt swagers are a pain in the rear! My local boat yard let me
borrow theirs but I bet if you offered them a hefty deposit they would
let you borrow one for say $10....The big professional units are like
night and day...Sooo much easier to use!
Just a thought

I found one identical to the one listed on eBay today at my local tool store for $42. It's out in the trunk of my truck as we speak.
Thanks all.
