Product Description
The UT Railbolt is perfect for joining handrails to fittings and handrails to newel posts, as well as general woodworking applications (Zipbolt 40.520 7mm Deep Socket Tool also available for screw shaft installation). Zipbolt UT 13.610 Railbolt - Save Time When Installing Staircase Components The Zipbolt UT 13.610 Railbolt is Zipbolt's answer to the time-consuming and cumbersome process of joining handrails to other staircase components. For anyone who has ever assembled a staircase, the time saving benefits alone will amaze you! The UT Railbolt is perfect for joining handrails to fittings and handrails to newel posts, as well as general woodworking applications. If a rail bolt with an even thinner profile is desired, the Zipbolt 16.610 UT Micro Railbolt is also available. Zipbolt - Making life Easier The Zipbolt UT gear drive system provides unbeatable speed when joining staircase components, while being as easy to install as using a cordless drill. When traditional rail bolts are used, once the shaft is wound into the end grain and joined to the second piece, it is necessary to place a washer and nut on the end of the bolt's shaft and tighten. This is where the Zipbolt Railbolt shines! The UT Railbolt housing has a special open channel feature that allows the housing to simply drop over the bolt shaft. Tightening can be done with the included hex bit or Allen key without fiddling and trying to start a nut in a restrictive hole, which is further compounded by having to tighten the nut afterwards. IMPORTANT: Do not use impact driver to tighten gear when installing this product.
