Pros & Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

The instructions are clear, the quality is amazing and the fit and process was great, even for a novice like myself! You have to be careful drilling the holes but the end results are very good and the attachment is well concealed.



Cons

Flimsy material. Don't bother trying to use it. Wasted a bunch of time and money.

Product is easy to get started but does not tighten. Only thing worse than a niche fastener is one that breaks in its install. All screws started to strip out their head & is a nightmare to fix.

The product is really designed for single railing. Tried to set my stair rail with this thing. The bolt is now stuck inside the handrail.

Highlights

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Quality


Im very happy with the results and also like to be able to easily disassemble and reassemble


I have not found any other equivalent product


Issue i have is the plugs are too small to fit snuggly in the 1” hole using the spade but that comes with the zip bolt drill guide kit

Shipping


I do however object to the shipping charges and feel that is a big value for money drawback for that id rate at 3 out of 5 stars if i could

Packaging/appearance


Was an excellent easy to install produce no holes soon nails or screws


Not directly related but important the packaging is rather poor and parts can be lost during shipping


Drilling the end holes in the railing can be challenging if like me are working with a railing previously mounted with dowels

Competitiveness


The local bigbox stores just had big lag bolt sorts of things


They weren’t to bad to put in but getting the bolt started into the gear nut was a task

    The instructions say to drill and 38 inch hole for the bolt but this only works well if the hole is drilled at the perfect spot and angle that is not easy in the handrail end grain even using the available drill guide

    I had to bore a pair of 1 holes in the bottom of the banister and a 38 hole in the ends of the banister

    Watch the youtube video on how to use these and its fairly simple

    The only advise i would give is to use a drop of oil to loosen it up prior to tightening
