Review on CKE Railing Threaded Terminal Stainless by Ricky Cruise

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great value for money, works well

Excellent value for money. I highly recommend putting fittings on both ends of the cable. I took an old set of bolt cutters and sanded down a flat pad the width of the die to create a crimp. Crimp 3 times to be sure. Drill your holes. Take a spade bit that's slightly wider than your deep hole bushing and tape down its shank to the depth you need to drill to expose the swage threads on the opposite side of where the wire enters your post. Place a larger shim on the assembly to prevent pull-through. To install the second crimp I gather it up and push it through the wood, then cut the wire to fit and trim/crimp in place. After tightening I install wooden plugs to fill the holes. Great price and product. They make longer threaded shafts but a lot more $$ Very pleased. The reason for a few three stars is that you need some experience and effort to install them satisfactorily. Not an easy experience. Worth the money and effort.

Pros
  • Elegant design
