On the above ship, we would use 1/2" wire straps like that wrapped through the bites of the mooring lines to prevent thieves from stealing them during visits to Africa, Sth and Central America, and the Far East.

Salaverry, Peru was the worst. Even with the straps in place, 3 hired security guards, and the crew's vigilance, the local fisherman manage to steal hawsers during 2 different port visits.

Vise. I probably straighten crimp pieces 4 or 5 times
And they are still usable.
Some may say why go thru all the hassle when you can buy so cheap on Amazon. I say why go thru the hassle of making a cheese 🧀 burger 🍔 when you can buy so cheap at half a dozen different places 😅
Both are time spent wisely 😌
Idle hands ✋️ lead to the work of the devil 🤘 😈 👏 🙌
