Default Strap cable ends

That tool is called a Kearney Swager, and usually only cable specialty
firms have them. You can buy one from Aircraft Spruce; right now the
price is just under $6100 including a few dies.

When I need a cable with those types of fittings, I just sketch the
cable and then order it. I've had good luck with both Aircraft Spruce
and with McFarlane Aviation Products. Here's the ACS page for this
service:

Thanks, and best regards to all
