I'm not sure what the actual safe working load of the steel cable is, but it looks like a nice job of putting an eye or Molly Heegan in it to me, can't tell a lot from the pics but I wouldn't be scared to use it.
Not the real Q for today just a little teaser untill I get a pic of what I want you to answer. BUT what do ya reckon the safe working load is for a bond like this... ?????

Not having any idea about the OD, costruction or core, I am going to guess the nominal strength to be about 300 Tons.With a safety factor of 5 to 1, that would put the SWL around 60 tons
