How to join steel wire ropes; pictures and videos would be better.
The main types of steel ropes include manganese-phosphated coated steel ropes, galvanized steel ropes, and stainless steel ropes. For this type of fastening, a screwdriver is needed; it’s best to use a tool specifically designed for such fastenings. Unwind one end of the steel wire rope, then use the screwdriver to pry apart one of the strands. Wrap the other strand around it. This is the simplest method of fastening; it’s commonly referred to as the “monkey climbing rod” method. Once all the strands have been fastened together, if it’s a steel-core wire rope, the steel core can be cut off to make fastening easier. You can try using hemp rope first before attempting to fasten the steel wire rope.
