Hi,

I'm making my own tennis ball poi with para cord and the only thing I can't source is good crimps for making a loop at the end of the cord to attach to swivels. All I can find is the folding and coil ones for jewellery making that i know don't work and rig crimps which are for wire cable. Anyone tried these or have other suggestions? I don't like tying a knot and melting it either.

thanks, after some serious searching ive decided knots are the only way. A gently melted figure 8! its ugly but it holds better than any crimp ive tried. Just bugs that the pro ones have these mysterious crimps i cant find anywhere.

This isn't a crimp, but the thing around 4:10 on this video seems like it'll be pretty secure:
