I purchase uncoated cable and swage couplings from big box hardware store and make my own. Uncoated so you can see if it is rusty/weak area.

Another option is to replace with chain.

I just make my own when ever I need to replace them. I bought the cable, crimping sleeves, and the crimping swagging tool.

Are the ones you ordered thicker gauge or rated higher in poundage?Seems like thicker cables would be a good thing.Surprised actually more stands dont come with bigger cables

They look thicker.The quality looks excellant.The clear coat is great to inspect for rust,frays etc.

i dont think they are any heavier gauged, standard 1/8'' . the clear vinyl makes them apear heavier.  pretty fast shipping.
