Since these all have terminals that are 5/8", it sure would have been nice to include one washer per terminal. It cannot cost the seller much for one washer per tensioner. $24 for 20 washers. I only needed five.

Looks very nice on cedar 4x4 posts!Have tried other diy kits, this one was the simplest to install. Watch the video that the seller included.

Muzata products are awesome and very good quality.I would order from elsewhere as Amazon customer service is no help at all if there is a problem or items missing with these items. Buyer be aware !

Without doubt the worst item ive ever bought from Amazon. When adding tension to the cable the cables eventually turn and the crimp fails. Tried crimping in six different places and still it fails, product is far too complicated and doesn’t work.

The crimper and the wire and the end fittings work really well

If you follow the directions about how long to cut the wire, you may find that your wire is too long after you crimp. This will not allow the correct tightness as you will reach the end of the threads and still have loose lines. I used North American cut 4X4, (which is actually 3.5x3.5 or 89mm) maybe that is the problem? The writer of the directions possibly from Asia doesn't know that? Did you already install them and then discover the problem? Unscrew one end, pull out the line, then add a STAINLESS thick washer or two behind the less visible endcaps to "shorten" the cable and it'll come out great.

Fittings are top notch quality !!! Crimping them does damage to your hand. I would highly recommend the power crimper!!

Omg.. could not be happier with how they came out. They are easy to install and as long as you are patient you will not be disappointed with the outcome!!

Look great! Installation not easy (not complicated either), no issues (except on stairs). Not inexpensive - finished look is excellent. Issue on stairs was getting a proper length. No directions included and website/videos do not cover angular installation. The need for the installation tool and its robustness was my biggest issue. See tool review. The detail on this part that fits into the tool is not robust and tends to round over. Takes a lot of effort to hold in place while tightening the opposite end.

This hardware is beautiful, and made well. But beware! Installation is far more complex that you might imagine! And the Muzata videos do not tell you the critical fine points of this connection. First, you must drill a proper hole all the way thru the post. Drill bit supplied was a hair too small. You'll be tempted to tap them in with a hammer. This is when alignment becomes an issue. Then you must enlarge one side roughly 2" deep by counterboring for the the threaded receiver. To say the holes must align is a gross understatement: they must be perfect! Even careful swaging as to not bend the male part will still lead to severe frustration attempting to thread together. The threaded part inside the female end has a shoulder on it that will stop all but the PEFRECT alignment. And once you figure this out, keep in mind that you have approximately only .8 inch of threadable tightening, so your measurements have to be surgically accurate. I drilled all my posts on a drill press for accuracy, but counterbored in the field. MISTAKE! Those who do not heed this warning (two more below) will endure hours of frustration as I did. One hint that helped quite a bit: Using a Dremel sanding drum, I carefully domed the end of the male threaded part. Additionally, I made my counterbore deeper than needed to allow more wiggle room for attempted alignment. Once I did this, I started getting the unit threaded on the first try!2nd Warning: Pay attention to which way your cable is spun....if you put this connection on the end that will twist it to unwind, you will ruin your piece of cable and unwind it even if everything else is perfect. And you'll be tightening it wondering "why is it still going?" until you figure it out! When you cut a piece of cable, one end would TIGHTEN as you tension it, the other end will UNWIND itself as you tighten it. BE CERTAIN which end get the swaged anchor (the unwindy end) and which you use this hardware on (RIGHTY TIGHTY).Final warning: Keep in mind that you may have a fence post very close, or even bolted to a house or another structure. Consider just using then the swaged, screw in anchor instead.UPDATE 04/05/2020 New problem! since installation, the warmer temps have sufficiently expanded the cable past the point of adjustment. See photo of the drooping cable. I now realize that I will have to redo all the cabling on the long run of 30' to add adjustable ends at both ends of the run. But since this system is so finicky, I'll likely change to the non-hidden adjustment.
