[quote=Wolfman]A nicopress done with a hydraulic press or a roller swaged fitting are about the same in strength. The roller swaged fittings are cleaner. Even the hand pressed nicopresses are plenty stong if they are done correctly.
You will probably find that the bottom of the shrouds from Murray's are roller swaged and the tops are doubled nicopress fittings (one above the other). I think that is what mine are... The nicopress gives you a nice large eye to shackle to at the top and the roller swage gives you a clean edge free treatment at the bottom and a nice pin hole. I know for sure that I had my forestay custom made and it is like that.
