    Only swaged portion is discarded. The vinyl increases the apparent diameter
    you are gripping. If you forgo vinyl, you should increase the diameter of
    the wire so it doesn't slice your hand. I don't think 7x19 wire in this
    application will develop "meathooks," but with vinyl, that is not a concern.

    | Thinking about replacing my lifelines. Coated or uncoated? Any
    | recommendations? Any way to reuse any of the fittings or are they all
    | throwaways?
