At the local farm supply they're selling aluminum nico sleeves. Has
anyone had any experience using these ?

This is not surprising. The press type swaging for support/guy wires and wire
fencing long before people thought about using them in airplanes and boats.
I'd be careful that these are the ones designed for steel aircraft cable rather
than fence wire before risking my life on them.

The nicos were being sold beside the stainless and galvanized aircraft
cable. I'm not planning on risking my life to them but using them on
the check cables and drift cutters on the skis I'm building.
