BLIKA 65 Pack Stainless Steel Protector Sleeves for 1/8" 5/32" or 3/16" Deck Cable Railing, for Wood/Composite Posts, T316 Marine Grade, Cable Railing Protector Sleeves

Time will tell how they hold up, initial opinion is very good…above expectations

look good work good. make the cable runs look much better where pass thru posts vs without. very tight with 3/16 wire but work fine. would like to see more chamfer edge on the skinny end but it was good enough.

Works fine

Saved hundreds of dollars versus rail kit manufacturers by using these with air cable and another cheap tool store. Worked perfectly and looks finished

(....Or at least the sleeves for one!)A recent improvement to a loft area of a workshop necessitated the addition of a lightweight and strong railing system to prevent falls. After studying existing tubular, wood and wrought iron solutions, we selected stainless steel cabling threaded through cedar wood posts for its unique combination of strength, light weight, appearance and cost effectiveness.As this system has more subassemblies than other railing types, it pays to select those parts based on previous field performance (longevity) and price.To prevent damage to the relatively soft cedar posts from friction wear, these sleeves are a must. While this is an interior install, we appreciate the marine grade steel in the Blika sleeves in this kit. As we wanted smaller vertical gaps between each horizontal cable run, we required a large number of sleeves to accommodate the additional cabling.This kit provided us the best balance of quantity pricing per piece and build quality.As the included drill bit diameter is too large, as others have commented, we purchased several longer bits that would provide perfectly parallel entry and exit holes with one pass of the drill through the post.We’ve been very satisfied with the quality, consistent sleeve sizing and price per piece and will use these again in future projects.Overall, a recommended sleeve for your next cable railing install.

The fit and finish was high quality. Exactly what I was looking for.

We installed a powder coated guard rail on a new deck we built and these worked like a charm with the cables we installed. Easy to work with!

The best way to use is only put them on the side you are sending wire through, after getting wire through 4x4 put the other side on highly recommended using drill press or guide
