Review on πŸ”© High-Quality T316 Stainless Steel DN Mate 40 Pack Swage Lag Screws for Wood Post of 1/8 Steel Cable Railing Kit - Ideal Cable Railing Hardware, DIY Wood Baluster with Included Wrench by Andres Black

Revainrating 5 out of 5

DIY cable installation is good for railings

Snap screws and crimped cables worked great. Helps drive the lag bolts out about 3/4" with a standard drill so you don't have to fully tighten the lag bolts. The included wrench is easy to remove, especially if you don't hold it in the center of the notched portion of the screw. It would be better if they included some extra keys even if the cost would be a bit higher. Another improvement would be that the wrench would end up being made at a 90 degree angle instead of the alternative where you turn the bolts between the cables. I think this would allow me to keep the key centered and avoid removing it. I have used the crescent wrench as a workaround and am generally happy with the products.

Pros
  • Railings and battens
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
