VistaView CableTec - Fast and Easy Stainless Steel Cable Railing Installation Kit for Residential Metal Posts - 1/8 Inch Cable, 5 Feet with Gray End Caps

This is expensive but it works. Hardest part was to assemble the loctited nuts and cutting the excess cable (used a disk cutter). Good customer service, but the best customer service is the one you don't need. Looks good.

This isn't the least expensive way to build stainless steel cabling but it certainly is the most reliable and possibly the simplest. There's lots of drilling holes of 3 different diameters (one for cable only, a larger one for the screw/nut end and an even larger for the swift catch end.) Once those holes are drilled these cables install quickly and easily. Tension the swift catch end with a pair of pliers then move on to the nut/screw end for final tensioning. Cut the cable and screw (I recommend a grinder with a metal cutoff wheel), snap the caps on and you're done. I have installed about 100 of these in my decking and stairs and they look great.If they lose tension (I have wood posts that can cause this over time) then you can retension them quickly and easily as well.

WARNING: If you buy this system make sure you automatically buy the QUICK RELEASE TOOL! it's $10 and will save you time and money. This system is is amazing- can't say how easy it is and awesome to look at when it's all done. One of the parts that you put on it is a part that once it goes on you aren't getting it off and if you pull your cable too tight you can't get it loose again, which is why you need the quick release tool but the whole process is super simple and value for look is 10 out of 10.

Cable was so easy to install with the swift connect! No crimping required so I saved $50 dollars at the start.You barely notice them while enjoying the Mountain View

Look's great but didn't know that there was nothing to hold onto when I put the cable through the post most pictures showed something to hold onto when I went to tighten the nut. Had to use vice grips on cable to hold it.

I had to replace on of my steel cables and this accomplished in about 20 minutes.

The kits are well worth your money. These kits are high quality and look great. The instructions are easy to follow for someone who has never installed something like this before. I especially liked the drill bit size details that made thinking through the layout easier. Once the holes are drilled, they are easy to install and have your railing make a statement.I would highly recommend this product. Before purchasing from Amazon, I called the company directly (from the number on their website) and was able to talk to a person that works for VistaView and confirm I was purchasing the correct model number for what I needed. Very impressed with the brand's customer service.

Super easy highly recommend the hydraulic crimping tool and the tool that it comes with to screw into the Post gets stripped out real easy. I ended up using a very small adjustable wrench that did the trick it looks amazing pretty easy to install I would recommend sliding 2 decorative sleeves over the cables before you install them one for each side where they screw into the wall and into the post to cover the notch that you turn to screw into the post or whatever it just looks cleaner with a hollowed-out wooden dowel over the screws to give it a finished look rather than the crimped medal fastener
