wire rope end fitting
(OP)
hi,
i have to choose wire rope end for 3/16" stailess.
the options are :
1)socket fitting (positive grip) by www.esmet.com
2)creating a loop using wire clips (by crosby clips for example)
does anybody knows what method is more reliable?

the purpose is to balance weights (at each end).
the balanced item is arm that slides along mast.

If I wanted it really reliable I would put a sleeve on it and crimp it in a press. They do that for chokers on wire rope.
My initial reaction would be to stop at Home Depot and get something I could put on with a screwdriver. (Actually I did this a couple weeks ago and I had to use a nut driver but same idea.)

You can also make a Flemish loop at the end of the wire rope and get a 100% efficiency.
