I was rather surprised to see some rather nice looking wire rope terminators
at Harbor Freight this weekend, like so:

Sta-Lok makes them for architectural and marine use, but they're seriously
pricey. *Same goes for the ones McMaster carries. *I'd really like to find

I bought one, couldn't find 5/32" wire rope in the junk pile so tried
it on 3/16", and messed up the weak spring that holds the clamp jaws.
Now the jaws don't stay in place so I haven't been able to test it for
strength.
