I also used 2 5/16” annealed nuts per loop hammered flat. I thought both were strong until I bought a swagger and seen first hand how much better and stronger a swaged double ferrule was compared to a hammered and punched one. Both ways will work but swagged is stronger and more fun to use and quieter. Once you use a swagger you just laugh at the people hammering them on. Not stronger-weaker. I lost two wolves with swaged snares.Will never use that junk again.A wised up wolf on the line is a Huge liability I cannot afford.Let alone Two. Never lost a wolf with hammered. Sounds like you used either the wrong swager, or the wrong technique. The trees I anchor off to with my wolf snares will break off before the snares fail. Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand
