Do proper tirfors not use swaged ropes ? I've got cheap ace ones, always worked fine, use them for supports on the skyline and handle that ok.

If by swaged you mean compacted, as in the individual wires are not circular in section, then no, Tirfor Maxiflex®️ rope is the same as the bog standard kind, but instead of six outer strands it only has four, with a steel core strand (or possibly a solid wire core, I don't know).

The Habeggers are Swiss made and top quality. Better still they are aluminium and much lighter than the equivalent Tirfor.

There is a UK distributor but you don’t see many around. I found mine on EBay, but I suspect they may be eyewateringly expensive new.
