How to Secure Cut Cable Ends?
It did not dry as quickly and dried in the container, I guess, I did not store it right.

Use sharper cutters and the cables will stay together.
You don't need to cut off the cap. Just squeeze it at 90 degrees to the crimp direction. That'll preserve the cable length. If you're lazy (too far to walk from your repair stand to tool chest with caps) and/or cheap you can even re-use the one you just removed.

Alligator Welding Machine
Cut the inner wire within 3 seconds.
It will naturally form a solid end which prevent split wire happened. No need
to install the end caps or cable bolt after cutting.
With different kinds of setting mode, operator can cut stainless wire or steel
wire into same high-quality wire end.
Endurable fans inside which greatly improve the operation waiting-time.

I can agree about the torque wrench, but tension meters are indispensible for scratch builds of wheels. Any approximate method of setting spoke tension is just a recipe for short-lived spokes. Very few of us have the sensory qualifications to build wheels by tone or feel.
