This reminded me of a pressed sleeve failure on a wire rope that I once had 
with a brand new Telrex beam. Since then I have not trusted them. Anyway I 
think non-metallic Phillystran is a much better choice for a boom trusses, I 
use stainless steel cable clamps with mine instead of Big Grips.

  I also have used the  alunimum double barrel press  sleeves from Tractor 
Supply.  I have used them for Boom Supports   and  end post  corner  supports.. 
I  have has failures    on my f-12  30/40 meter beam the boom truss  failed ☹   
  I have since gone back to the phillystran and SS cable clamps..
