Review on Easy-To-Install Staircase Connector: Zipbolt Slipfix Railbolt For Strong Handrail To Newel Post Connection, 1 Double Pack With 5Mm Hex And Wood Plugs — Ideal For Residential & Commercial Use by George Miller

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Trash screws: my feedback

3 of 4 screws sheared above the threads when installing by hand into pre drilled holes.I know oak end grain on the newel post can be tough but this is unacceptable. All screws started to strip out their head & the only thing worse than a niche fastener is one that breaks in its install & is a nightmare to fix.Great concept / use for a product but unacceptably poor quality control.

Pros
  • easy system - improved over 5 years ago
Cons
  • May require professional installation for best results
