I'm learning to use the larger swaging tool like #3 SWAGE-IT TOOL from here:

http://www.swage-ittools.com/swage-it-tools (at the very bottom of the page)

I'm using copper oval sleeves MS51844-44 for AS with 1/8 cable (7x19). AC 43.13-1B says that 1/8" sleeves need 3 crimps. However this tool makes so wide crimps so there's simply no space for 2 more crimps! It looks like this:

Looking for advise -- how to use that swaging tool on 1/8 cable and sleeves?
 
There is room for two crimps, put the first one out on the end of the sleeve and the second one on the other end. Check with the gauge and you are good to go.
