I used Tri Power hydraulics in Warwick for swedging. Don't know if they still do it.

Has worked well for me. None out there now but one sold a couple months ago for $118. IMHO, the lever crimpers are much better than the ones you have to turn with a wrench. For one thing, the small crimpers require you to do 5 crimps, the lever crimpers only 3. You need to rotate the crimp 180 degrees for each crimp otherwise the fitting will have a slight curve. A word of caution, a used crimper may be out of tolerance due to overuse or abuse.

I am in the process of replacing my lifelines and am looking to buy a crimper to crimp the Hayn studs and gate rings, etc. Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced crimper? I've seen crimpers from $69 to $477 and can't tell the difference.
