Stainless Steel & Aluminum Care & Maintenance

Maintaining the beauty of your stainless steel or aluminum railings is simple! For routine cleaning, you only need a mild dish soap solution and a soft microfiber cloth. Wipe down the railings to remove dust, dirt, and fingerprints. For tougher grime, a vinegar solution (equal parts vinegar and water) can be used. Avoid harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, and steel wool, as these can damage the surfaces. Remember to rinse thoroughly and dry with a clean cloth to prevent water spots.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are your installation kits interchangeable?

No, each installation kit is made for a particular system and is not interchangeable. If you have questions about which installation kit is right for your project, reach out! We would be happy to help.

Do I need to buy your installation kit?

While optional, we highly recommend purchasing the kit to simplify installation. Additionally, there are certain tools in the installation kit that are specific to our system and cannot be found at the hardware store. If you choose not to purchase an installation kit, you will need to source the proper installation tools, such as bits, drivers, taps, Allen keys, etc. Cable Bullet-specific tools can be purchased individually from our tools collection.

How many crimps can I make with this tool?

While we cannot confidently rate the crimping tool, the Cable Crimper can make more crimps than the Cable Cutter can cut, so over the 300–500 range—more than enough for the average project.

How many cuts can I make with this tool?

The Cable Cutter can make 300–500 cuts—more than enough for the average project.

Wood 4x4 exterior post installation.

"The installation kit worked well except for the drill bit and the spacing template. The drill bit didn’t work and had to use one that I had as it had trouble drilling into the pressure treated 4x4s. The template was awkward to use, so I drilled all the holes using my drill press."

— Roger K. (5/5)

"The system is great for DYI’ers. I am 80 years old and was able to complete the project by myself."

Woks great

"Drill bits sharp cut nicely the 4x4 pine. Wire cutter works great also. the crimping tool again works well you need to keep an eye on the center locking nut it will come lose."

— Steven C. (5/5)

All you need!

"Loved the install kit! Cable Bullet is smart to sell this product to ensure any installer has everything they need for a professional installation! We bought two kits and have used them several times since our initial purchase!"

— Craig M. (5/5)

New Kit

"Worked as they should. Unfortunately lock nuts came off on the crimpers. Didn’t notice it until the nut went flying while trying to crimp, shoulder bolt ended up cocked on the hole. Took some time to find the nut and get it back together. Kept coming loose. I think the bolt was too short to catch the plastic on lock nut. Needs to be 1/4” longer bolt."

— Pete S. (5/5)

Great kit

"Worked great. Made install a breeze"

— Anthony A. (5/5)

swager comes apart.

"as I said in an earlier review. the swager tool has come apart twice. one time sending me to the hardware store to find a new nut to hold it together again."
