Built in crimper for cable end caps and forming hole for reforming housing ends and housing ferrules
Wire latch holds handles together when not in use
That's a very nice tool, but I am skeptical the crimper is up to the task at hand. That crimper is made for putting the little aluminum protective ends on cables. To make a gear cable, you need serious force.
