Abstract: An insertion tool for manipulating a cable termination device having an auxiliary handle section pivoted to a base handle section, the inner and outer bodies of a cable termination device nested together with multiple cable strands positioned between the two bodies, and the inner strand of the cable extending through an aperture in the inner body and being adapted to be bend 90 degrees by manipulation of the handle sections.

Abstract: A multi-strand cable attachment hub securing multiple trees or multiple poles together includes a hub base made of aluminum or another suitable soft metal with respectively angled tapered channels extending therethrough with tapered inner bodies made of stainless steel or other suitable hard metal with a central aperture extending therethrough. Multi-strand steel cables extending respectively through the channels and the ends partially unwound with a single strand threaded through the central apertures in the tapered inner bodies and the remaining strands threaded between the inner bodies and channel walk. The single middle strands are bent over the ends of the tapered inner bodies and the inner bodies pulled into the corresponding channel to trap the strands between each inner body and the wall of the channel.

Abstract: A wire stop for use with a multi-strand steel cable for securing trees and poles includes an outer body with a tapered opening extending therethrough. The wire stop also includes a tapered inner body with a central bore extending therethrough for receiving a single strand of the multi-strand steel cable therein and is sized and configured to be received in and cooperate with the tapered opening in outer body. With this construction, the multi-strand steel cable can be partially unwound and a single strand threaded through the central bore in the tapered inner body and the remaining strands can be threaded between the inner body and the outer body.
