Howdy. i want to be able to join small pieces of wire to small pieces
of braided steel cable (less than 1/16"). (any climbers here? i want
to be able to do nice cam trigger rewires).

what is the right tool/swage for this type of joint?

a while back i had a friend who had a tool i thought would do the
trick in good style. it was hand tool with pliers-type handles that
you squeeze together against sprin tension. squeezing the handles
together would advance four tiny metal spikes together from four
sides, resulting in a four-dent crimp on whatever you put this tool
around. i would guess it is some sort of electrician's tool.

i thoguht that even circumfrential crimp pattern would look even
better than the squooshed look of the commercial tiny swagers.

pardon the industry non-standard lingo, as you can tell, i have no
idea what im talking about

thanks in advance,

anthony
