Review on LuckIn Stainless Aircraft Strands Construction by Gabe Ries

Revainrating 3 out of 5

This is a 3mm cable, not a 1/8 " cable. Please Note

Although this 3mm diameter cable (not 1/8 inch = 3.2mm) alone is suitable for applications where you use cable/rope. thimbles and/or aluminum ferrules, this gives a lot of bad results if you intend to use it with stainless steel ferrules that are rated for 1/8 inch cable. of beams. This only applies if your railing is designed to protect people on decks or stairs. If your intended use is decorative or life-threatening, ignore it. This is fine for other loop/clamp applications, but DO NOT use THIS 3.0mm cable when installing a cable protector with stainless steel clamps for 1/8" cable. It is NOT 1/8 inch. I measured the cable at 5 different points with digital calipers which confirmed diameters from 2.95mm to 3.00mm (expected for 7x7 wire).

Pros
  • Decking and Railing
Cons
  • Poorly Thought
