A 1\/16 in. sleeve will not close properly on anything larger, and a larger sleeve on 1\/16 in. cable crimps loose.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I crimp one with pliers?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNot soundly. A swaging tool closes the sleeve evenly around both legs. Pliers and hammers deform one face and leave the grip uneven.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat about coated cable?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStrip the coating off the section where the sleeve sits, so the sleeve closes onto steel rather than onto a vinyl sheath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy ten in a pack when the 1\/8 in. comes in six?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat is how KingChain packs them. The smaller size gets used in numbers, since a sign or display run needs an eye at every drop.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre they rated for a load?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo figure is published for the sleeve on its own, because a correctly crimped sleeve is as strong as the cable and the cable rating governs. KingChain say not to use them for hanging or lifting loads, for supporting the weight of people or objects, or on sports and playground equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"KINGCHAIN","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53051728101695,"sku":"451700","price":1.44,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0685\/4901\/7919\/files\/Screenshot2026-05-22163128.png?v=1779492801","url":"https:\/\/griffbuildingsupplies.com\/products\/king-chain-1-16-aluminum-wire-sleeve-10-pack-451700","provider":"Griff Building Supplies","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
