Hello Swabbies

Another thing I like about mechanical terminals is that you can take a look
inside and see what's going on. My swages are all over 30 years old, and
I've wondered about them.   Re: the 316 and working loads... I'm in the
rigging biz, and I agree that going up one size is a good idea.
