Well Georgi, I was attempting to adjust the cable length and crimp the eyelets into place, as normal practice.
The crimping tool is large and maybe a bit cumbersome, so I enlisted my wife's assistance.
She is not so good at assisting and I made a mistake in entrusting her to understand my instructions (turned out she didn't).
The ferrules slipped (yes, multiples) a bit resulting in loose ("lose", Tyger?
) eyelets.
I tried to 'carefully' grind/cut the bad ferrule off, but that didn't work out too well.
New parts would have to be ordered.......................... or I could measure and order some custom cables with swaged fittings.
The swaged fittings are much nicer looking to me without the loose cable end and, in my opinion, stronger due to the greater grip area.
So, the reason would be "poor workmanship" from me on the crimped ferrule version.
