Wall of Shame: Wannabe Experts

Looks like a bad swage from here...lolz

I actually would feel much better about that failure, knowing it was not bad material, but rather bad installation of the swage. Poor quality cable you cannot fix...poor quality assembly, you can.

I can't decide if that one is sad, or funny. Both, I guess.

I like how shutting down the machine was the last priority.

I'd still like to know how these kinds of folks can be successful, while I'm eating ramen. Maybe because I'm risk adverse, I don't know.

I agree. I will put a new eye on it and use it for an extension or something. The new cable is not galv, (oily messy) and much nicer and more supple. Longer too,

Was it spliced then swaged?

I don’t think so

I’m pretty chill but that makes me feel very un-chill.
