ets are made of special steel with mechanical and physical properties that enhance swaging, durabil-
ity and strength. For open swage sockets, the socket pin and cotter fit tightly into the socket’s ears for
optimal surface contact for durability.

Upson-Walton Swage Sockets are Made in USA
Muncy manufactures its Upson-Walton swage sockets from material and forgings made in the USA.

swage socket with an “Upson-Walton” or “UW” on the forging, you can know with confidence it was
Made In USA.
Upson-Walton Sockets are easy to swage onto Wire Rope
Many Upson-Walton socket users like how UW swage sockets swage onto wire rope. Upson Wal-
ton’s heat treat process is designed with the swaging process in mind, as the socket is subjected to
extreme pressure between dies during swaging.
