BLIKA 60 Pack T316 Stainless Steel Black Right&Left Handed Thread Swage Lag Screws for Wood Posts of 1/8" Deck Cable Railing Kit, Wire Railing Kit for Decks with Wrench, DIY Wood Baluster

Awesome product

easy to install

Impressed with the value of the item. Competitor items have a *ridiculous* mark up, so I would recommend these.My only complaint is something that was mostly my fault. I could not really bend these to a 30 degree angle after drilling them in straight. I know I am suppose to drill at the angle my cable runs, but it wasn't an option for my project, and trying to bend them resulted in 50% of them snapping which caused a huge headache for me. If you bought these because you expect them to bend, expect to be disappointed.Other than that - great product, highly recommend. Definitely predrill, then tighten your drill chuck around these super tight and just drill them straight in. I got the black finish and my drill chuck ended up scratching about 20% of them, which I had to replace, but it was my fault that I didn't tighten the chuck enough. When I say right, I mean go get a wrench to tighten your chuck, otherwise it destroys the black finish.

Ill probably go buy 2 cheap small flat heads, cut the handles off, and tighten my drill chuck around them so I can screw these in after pre-drilling instead of hand spinning them the whole way. Obviously do final tightening by hand but the treads are like 3 inches long. Other than that (which should seem obvious to any contractor) this is a simple and sleek design. I'm sure these will be a hit. Meybe even just grind off the extra wide paddle bit part of a small flat head so it fits down the hollow shaft but still will twist it in the crimped part before the threads.

LOT OF PREDRILLING BUT A GOOD PRODUCT

Easy to work with, and holds the cable well.

items are as described, good value for the price

Worked great for what we needed
