The crimping loops work well, but you must have a proper crimping tool. I will not know of durability until I have used them on wire rope in a wet environment. Crimping loops fit well on 1/4 " wire cable, but only on a freshly cut cable. I tried to fit the first loop sleeve on wire as received from vendor and their cut method was really a crunch method which made the wire end diameter much too large for fitting the sleeve. Bought a 1/4 " cutting tool, cut a new end and sleeve fits easily on the wirel

Two things you need to know: 1. Aluminum crimp sleeves are not suitable for use with stainless steel cable, especially for outdoor use. If the crimp gets wet, even from condensation, the aluminum sleeves will corrode rapidly. This makes AL sleeves an unsafe choice for anything that supports weight, like a trellis, sun sail, or cable railing. The correct choice for stainless cable is a copper or stainless sleeve. Aluminum sleeves are an economical choice for use with utility galvanized steel cable only. 2. The product description includes the statement "Sleeves, when properly applied, are capable of holding the rated breaking strength of the cable to which they are applied." Technically, that's true "when properly applied." The only sleeves that truly reach the breaking strength of the cable are copper and stainless sleeves. The best you can expect from AL sleeves is 75% efficiency, and that's only with the correct size sleeve for the cable, and the correct size and type of swaging tool. By the look of the crimps in some of the pictures with reviews, I'd guess that many people are doing well to get 25-40% of the cable strength. The sleeves have to be _swaged_, not mashed. At least use the correct tool if you're going to take a picture of your handiwork and make your shame public. DO NOT use aluminum wire rope crimp sleeves on stainless cable for your outdoor projects, period. They'll fail within a few years, even faster if you're near salt water or pollution.

(Nicopress pretty much invented the modern cable sleeve as we know it, and they're widely considered an authoritative source for technical info. I have no financial or personal connection to them, but I'm starting to feel a little guilty about not looking for their product first because I learned so much from the technical info on their website. Of course, their products are wildly expensive in small quantities, which is a problem for the average DIY guy on a budget.)
