[QUOTE="Sakura, post: 136834, member: 2593"] A nice bit of kit and very professional. Never bothered myself even when the Venhill kit is available. I still do it the old fashioned way. Leave the cable just proud of the nipple and pein over with a small ball peined hammer. Prize the nipple up so the spread inner is about level with the top surface of the hole and solder. Ensure the solder just penetrates the nipple. I believe the solder is to keep the splayed strands from getting together as well as joining cable and nipple. Never bought a cable for 55 years and never had a nipple pull off and I've made many in a professional capacity. After all that's how all the old books describe the process. Each to their own as long as it works. [/QUOTE]
