I finally broke down and bought a new cable puller. The Park Tool cable puller is well built and the ratchet lock for holding the cable at a set tension does make fastening brake cables easier. I shouldn`t have waited so long to buy this tool, it works great.

This tool was one of my favorites back when bikes had center pull Universal, Dia Compe and Weinmann brakes.

Grabs the brake cable like a fourth hand. Don't have to use one to tighten the cable but it sure is slick. Nice to have when you need it but will not be one of your go-to tools.
