One common use for these, that I have done many times, is to make up some
cables for a diagnal brace on a gate. Just buy eyebolts and a turnbuckle
and swage the carefully measured cables to them. Drill holes for the
eyebolts at the corner of the gate. put in the eyebolts and screw the
turnbuckle onto eyebolts in the middle. Tighten the whole thing up and
the gate goes back into a square shape! It doesn't sag any more.

A couple loops of #10 wire and a winding stick in the middle works just
fine, too....

Yaa....but, my solution is purtier!!
