<p class="MsoNormal">I am looking to replace the wire rope on a cheap hoist in our scene shop used for positioning and flipping materials. The current cable is 5/32 or 3/16 rotation-resistant wire rope. Can the rotation-resistant stuff be swaged in the same
fashion/tools as standard 9x17 wire rope? <o:p></o:p></p>
