Well, I know that forged crosbys are where it's at for rigging, and that malleable wire rope clips shouldn't be used. But what I never learned was what's the real difference? What makes the forged ones stronger? And why are they called "malleable"? They don't appear to deform when tightened, and I can't crush them with a channel-lock pliers. I got to thinking about this, when I realized that pretty much all of the crosbys we have are the malleable ones. As part of my plans to get rid of unsafe stuff, I've just ordered a boatload of forged ones.
Also, if not for rigging, what ARE malleable crosbys good for?
