What happens here

Take the tension wire and thread one end through a crimp ferrule. Then, loop the wire around itself to form an eye, and slide the free end back through the ferrule. This creates a secure loop. Position the crimp ferrule in the jaws of the heavy-duty crimpers and firmly press it multiple times (3-4 crimps are recommended) to compress the ferrule onto the wire. This action permanently secures the loop, creating a strong, non-slip connection for the tension wire.

Goal: Create a strong, secure loop in the tension wire using crimp ferrules
