Helffer 1/8 T316 Stainless Steel Cable, 164 FT Wire Rope, 7x7 Strands Construction Braided Wire Rope, Strong Load-Bearing Steel Cable for Deck Cable Railing Kit Outdoor DIY Baluster

Review is for the 328 roll. Quality is better that any other SS wire I have ever used, with the finish on it being exceptionally smooth. I am using this to create deck railing cables around a raised outdoor tiki hut. I am also using this manufacturer’s cable railing hardware kit (ASIN # B09V448CKC). After cutting through this, it is in fact as advertised (7 sets of 7 strands/set). The advertised diameter is correct and it fits into my railing hardware as it should. Using a cable wire cutter I had no trouble cutting through this cleanly. The ends were in no hurry to unravel either, which makes installing this much easier. For those intending to un-spool off a rack mount, the spool hole diameter is 15/16. Spool width is 3.75. Too soon to comment on longevity, but so far my expectations are high.

I know this is not winch wire, but it is a suitable substitute for chain when you need winding ability. I replaced the strap on a hand crank boat winch with this that I attached to my 4-wheeler and was able to tow some 14-20 diameter, 6-8 long logs a few hundred yards through my property. THEN, I was able to hoist said logs with another hand crank winch onto a mill sled. I also used the same wire to make a long lead for a come-along to help fell the trees. Its not listed what the breaking strength is, but it is a great wire to add some length to things without using heavy chain

I built a tension fence and used 1/8 steel cable, it turned out great, it is very strong, doesnt stretch, and easy to work with. I decided to build more fencing now, seeing how nice this one turned out so nice.

I did not expect the wire rope to be so heavy but that is a good thing. Always good to have some heavy-duty items around the house and in the car because you just never know when something will happen and you need it. That is the reason this item was ordered. It looks great and, as stated, is very heavy. I am pleased that it came on a spool that can be placed on a steel rod or wooden dowel to pull off a length, or re-wound, if need be. Excellent value for peace of mind!

Cable is wonderful, The box they shipped it in was horrible, would be better it it was shiped in a wooden box. the cutters was not in the box either.

This is nice, heavy duty wire that we will be using at the back of our property to string some outdoor lights onto. It’s great that it will not rust and is stronger so that we don’t have to keep redoing it. This is a very manageable thickness. Perfect for our needs!

Using as guy wire to stabilize large open carport.

Feels hefty! Used for a cable railing project and it worked the way it should. Project came out great. Swages held onto this cable no problem. No bends or kinks, just pure cable.

I needed to run new lines for the swinging bridge on my kids play center the last few where rope and wore/broke quickly. This time Im using the branded metal line for support and the rope for look. This line makes for a much stronger and better support.

This 1/8-inch cable is tightly wound so that it doesnt unravel much at all when I cut it--a real plus when youre swaging fittings and the ferrule tolerances are tight. A very good option for internal or external uses.
