Steel DN Mate Hydraulic Crimping Tool/Hydraulic Crimper with Dies for Stainless Steel Cable Railing Hardware,Battery Cable Crimping Tool DC01

I recently bought 4 products from Steel DN Mate: -The Stainless Steel Lag Screws for Wood Post of 1/8": Works really well with the tool provided. Because there are Left and Right screw, it prevents the cable from twisting. Good quality, really solid! -The 1/8" Stainless Steel Cable for Deck Cable Railing System: Great quality again! It comes with a cutter that works perfectly. -The Stainless Steel Protector Sleeves for 1/8" Wire Rope: Nice look for a finish on a wood post. I really like the way the sleeve can hide a hole that isn`t perfectly drilled. -And the Hydraulic Crimping Tool: Works perfectly for the Stainless Steel Lag Screws. I crimped the screws at two different places. It seems really strong, even with a lot of tension on the cables and the finish look is great. I am really satisfied with all of the products above. As you can see on the pictures, the finish look is awesome. It was super easy to install. Honestly it took me about 4 hours to install everything. I didn’t waste any screws or cable and no defaults were found on the tools provided. I would strongly recommend this company for your deck project. Overall, it gives a great look at a low cost!

Works pretty well. No issues. Quality product with nice packaging.

This is an amazing tool. Exactly what I needed. It does exactly what it needs to do. It is a strong tool that requires some strength to use but it is absolutely necessary to apply all the pressure you can so the stainless steel pieces crimp properly on the cable.

Very good tool. Heavy duty.

I own a cabin high in the Rocky Mountains of Utah. I wanted to be able to see the landscape when sitting in my chair relaxing and also be able to lean on my railing. I just finished adding new decks front and rear. I decided to use pine logs right off my property to keep the cabin feel. I ordered a different brand of crimper and returned it because the box did not hold the parts correctly and the size of the crimper dies were not marked. This crimper works great with Steel DN Mate Swage Lag Screws. I crimped each swage twice and none came loose when I tightened them. Be aware after a day of crimping, you will have some sore arm and neck muscles! Cable Crimpers require lots of muscle. Recommended! I learned a few things along the way that were helpful. Below is a list of items I purchased from Amazon. I'll be reviewing each over the next day or so and include some tips I learned while doing this job.
