If you'd like to browse our selection, here's a link to the choker sling category: lifting.com/wire-rope-wire-rope-slings-sliding-choker-slings.html 😁

It's available in the related video link at the bottom kzbin.infoumBLy4hDayA

That's resourceful! The danger of using a hammer or any other non-specific swaging tool is that it is really easy to crimp the wires in a way that undermines their integrity, or to under-crimp accidentally. Very hard to get it right. Stay safe out there!

🤔

Interesting question! We have not checked the actual temperature caused by friction/tension during a polyester webbing break test, but we know it's enough to start melting the outer layers, even on round slings, so it has to be at least 482 degrees Fahrenheit... There's always scorching/discoloration where friction was directly applied, so it's probably higher than that. We have an IR gun we use for the zinc spelter socket process, so we'll try that next time we do a break test. Thanks for your input! 👍

Good note! For one of our demo shorts, we showed locking a fence up, and the joke from viewers was that they'd just run the fence over. 😂

@@bishoplifting7379 Here's the video I was looking for but didn't find atm, now it suddenly appeared. Though, it was not even a angle grinder, but a very silent approach! kzbin.infoGj9G2tOBzXA?si=8osxDhwEb0efv_vv You Should ALWAYS put the locking mechanism through a wheel to make it a lot harder. They can however still move it from there with another vehicle.

@@sykoteddy Dude. People can really be **I'm a professional so I can't use the words I want to, but you know what I want to say...**

We're glad we found something new to show you! Wires are twisted into wire rope, which is why we don't use the words interchangeably. Sometimes we use "cable" to describe wire rope, but it depends. What you're describing sounds like wire rope clips! We've done a video on those, too: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i6bRZXuwZceZmKMsi=5oJSECdDqQHSRUJn.

@@bishoplifting7379 Yea, those I mean is for sure multiple strands of wire twisted like a wire rope. If I recall correctly those used on bikes are ussually called "wire cable". Is just a "wire" itself a single strand then? Sorry, it becomes more of a gramatical thing than what you are working with :P Thanks for the link.

@@sykoteddy Different people, especially in geographic areas that are far apart, use different phrases. For us, it's wires > strands (wires twisted into cord-like pieces) > wire rope or cable (strands twisted together to create finished product we use for slings and such). Poe-tay-toe, poe-tah-toe 😁

We're curious as to what you mean by a "real cable"? Do you mean you can't bend the wires out on larger wire rope?

We run an informative, product-based channel with shop videos, product overviews, and even some field footage. Many people like our content, but you're welcome to ignore us if you're unhappy with the videos. We usually publish the more interesting stuff on weekends, when there's the most traffic. Have a good day!

Everything is going to fail somewhere, yes it may have introduced a weak point but there will be a weak point somewhere in any rope, chain, cable setup where it will fail first. It held past its rated strength so that's a pass, and didn't come apart at the splice.

Yes, that is possible (if you read the full description, we discuss this a bit). This is the reason a swage end doesn't have 100% efficiency.

@@melonlab80 Hi, you seem to think I was criticizing them. In actuality my interest was in improving the products that hold my life on the line. Thanks for the first grade information I guess though.

4-1/2" Wire Rope, 160-Ton Vertical Lifting Capacity 😃

@bishoplifting7379 crazy...... I don't inspect anything that size 2-1/4" is about the largest

There's a link to the second half near the bottom of the screen. A short can only be 60 seconds long: kzbin.infoumBLy4hDayA

The test definitely was conducted with the safety guard down and no one standing in an unsafe area 😉

@@bishoplifting7379 safety gaurd or not thats the pucker zone haha

It's on our radar! We're going to try to get more test bed failure comparison videos in the queue soon. We're glad you're enjoying our content 😄

Part 2: kzbin.infoumBLy4hDayA

"All steps to prep the socket" is the second half of the full title. To view the second half of the video (we ran out of time), follow the link at the bottom of the view screen: kzbin.infoumBLy4hDayA

The title literally says "All the Steps the Prep the Socket." Here's the second half kzbin.infoumBLy4hDayA

This is Zinc.

We're glad you enjoyed the video, but we're going to have to have a talk with KZbin about the visibility of the related video link on shorts. 🤣 Here are the next two videos for this full spelter socket process: kzbin.info7tenPYVnEVA kzbin.infoumBLy4hDayA

There's a mute button if you prefer no music.

@@bishoplifting7379 I prefer not to be slapped instead of walking away after I get slapped 😅

@@briancosgrove3261 That's a fair point. We usually turn the music down, but this one ended up louder than usual. We'll be more mindful of volume in the future. 👍

@bishoplifting7379 lol thanks

Here is the other half. Shorts have a 60-sec limit. kzbin.infoumBLy4hDayA. Mute button is available. 🙃
