This is a nice kit. As shown in the listing, you get a variety of matched hardware suitable for many different projects. This saved me from searching the shelves for all the components I needed. The only things missing are cable cutter, crimping tool, and instructions. There is also no information regarding load capacity of the wire or hardware. However, it seems strong enough for most household projects listed in the ad.

the wire without the plastic coating is 2 mm or .075 inch according to my calipers.Not the 1/8 inch wire as advertised. If you include the thickness of the plastic coating, then I believe youget 1/8 inch diameter. The plastic coating for the wire is a good idea if you are using this as clothes-line or say a flag halyard or something, to help protect people's hands.The kit would give you the ability to set up a really nice clothesline for eco friendly or off grid clothes drying. And the 304 stainless steel on everything would prevent most rusting.The screw thread tolerances seem a bit loose to me, which could reduce the ultimate strength of the turnbuckles.There are 2 swage type blind hole anchor hooks included in the kit. These would be used to affix the hooks to solid wood.If you want to cut the wire, you will likely need a hard wire cutter like they use for sailboat rigging.If you want to use the aluminum swage fittings, you will need a crimp tool.The turnbuckles are a great way to get whatever tension is needed on the cable, but you need to lock the turnbuckle from rotating once you have it set at the tension desired. I assume that is what the bundle of twist ties is for. On a sailboat, the turnbuckle screws would have a drilled hole in the end to receive a split ring that would prevent the turnbuckle from unwinding.There is also a bag full of screw together cable binders, that can be used to make up the cable loops.It would be good to know the rated loads for the various fittings and turnbuckles. Even a clothesline can be under a lot of load if it is full of heavy wet beach towels or something.All in all though, a very handy kit of supplies to set up a cable for any number of uses.

Good quality, good value for coated wire, but I had to purchase an additional $45 special 1/8" wire crimping tool in order to connect the pieces to the wire. Ordinary pliers won't work. I probably should have purchased a kit that came with the appropriate tool, but I didn't know better at the time! Using my wire to station the koi pond cover, sunshade, and 15' dog runs for when we travel in the RV and have no fenced yard for the "kids" to run around in safely.

I love this kit. I use cable wire for tons of projects around our acreage. This is smaller cable and this not meant to hike much weight, but it’s great quality for what it is. I think the accessories are also good quality. I appreciate the turnbuckles and clasps. I’ve never liked the crimps, but these ones here do look like they are nicely made. All and all, this is an impressive quality kit for any affordable option.

The cable that I used to seatbelt my dog in the backseat snapped when I folded the seat over. That tells me that she wasn't as secure as I previously thought. So that because the test. I used this to replace the previous cable and tested it with the seat. It is strong and provided the security I needed. Good set and good value.
