Zfx-o nogo gauge, the uber nicopress tool no-go gauge
The “ZFX-O Gauge†is a unique No-Go gauge multi-tool for use with Nicopress tools. It is pocket-sized, weighs almost nothing, and is made of stainless steel. It will gauge and size everything involved in “Nicopress-ing†eyes in wire rope. Although useful for professional riggers, the ZFX-O Gauge was designed for the occasional rigger (technical directors, head carpenters, etc.) who might have trouble picking out the 1/8†Nico-sleeve from the unlabelled buckets in a theater’s rigging closet. It will even gauge wire rope sizes from the random coils left over from your last production (or the production before that!). It has an easy-to-read chart built in so you no longer need to be embarrassed and refer to the Backstage Handbook to remember that Oval M is for compressing 1/8†eyes. Last but not least, it includes a standard No-Go gauge.
