Product: 40 Stainless Steel Wire Rope Protector Sleeves with Drill Bit — 316 Grade, Electrolytic Polished Finish (Sizes: 3/16' & 1/8') Why you need this Prevents fraying and protects edges: slides over cut cable ends to cover raw strands and reduce sharp contact points on stairways, balconies, decks and other guardrail systems. Improves safety and longevity: secures cable terminations and isolates ends from rubbing or snagging, reducing wear on cables and nearby materials. Built for harsh environments: 316 stainless steel offers resistance to rust, acid and alkali compared with 304, making these protectors suitable where moisture, salt air or corrosive conditions are a concern. Key features and benefits Complete kit for multiple jobs: includes 40 protector sleeves and 1 drill bit for clean, simple installation on wire rope railings. Two sizes for compatibility: comes with 3/16' and 1/8' sleeves to fit common railing cable diameters and typical hardware setups in residential and commercial applications. Electrolytic polished finish: smooth surface resists fingerprints, slows oxidation and presents a clean, professional look that is easy to maintain indoors or outdoors. Durable performance: 316grade construction delivers long service life in coastal or moisture locations and where chemical exposure is possible. How it solves problems Stops loose strands from creating safety hazards or damaging finishes. Keeps cable ends tidy and consistent with existing railing hardware. Reduces maintenance by resisting corrosion and minimizing buildup on exposed ends. Practical applications Residential stairway or deck railings: protect cable ends where people pass and luggage or furniture may rub against cables. Balcony and terrace guardrails: maintain a neat, safe termination that resists coastal air and weather. Commercial or waterfront properties: ideal for marinas, piers, or other ‑moisture locations where standard 304 hardware would degrade faster. Installation notes Kit includes one drill bit to prepare clean holes where needed; sleeves slide over cable ends for quick fitting. Check cable diameter against included sizes (3/16' and 1/8') for fit.
