Review on πŸ”© Muzata Swage Lag Screws 20 Pack: Left & Right for 1/8" Cable Railing, T316 Stainless Steel Stair Deck Railing Wood Post - Horizontal Vertical Balusters (10 Pairs) CK17, Series CA1 CD1 CS1 by Juston Alonso

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Economical and easy

I've run about 1300 feet of 1/8 stainless steel cable with these left/right spade lugs. The trick is to create a template for your 4" spacing (3.5" actually) and make sure you drill straight (this is the tricky part). Muzata would have done the right thing by making and selling an aluminum clamp/template that could be used to ensure straight drilling. I made one out of 1x4. It worked, but you can definitely drill wrong if you're not careful. The muzata with the little wrench sucks too. I bent mine pretty quickly and it was very, very hard to find a wrench that was short and small enough to work with. There was nowhere to order a second key from the Musat. But in general I really liked the product. This process exists. Drywork is labor intensive but much cheaper and easier than others.

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Vanishable
