Nicopress fittings are used commonly on aircraft. Your local EAA chapter
may have a crimper in its cache of tools.
Nicropress fittings are equally as durable as grips when installed
correctly. However, they are not removable. Bascially, you have to cut
the cable to remove them.
Grips, however, can be removed twice.
