14.110 Super UT Post Fastener

Worked great. Watched some YouTube videos on how to install and it is exactly what I was looking for. Very sturdy and worth the money. I would buy it again.

Zip bolts are the best way to attach Newell posts to the floor. They are easy to use if you follow the detailed instructions which are included. Very important to have the correct size (3/8 and 5/8 spade) and length (about 8” to 10” long) drill bits including a 1.5” Forster bit. They came with the T40 bit needed to tighten the bolt. These are excellent and we’re not carried by any local building supply stores.

Great product

Wanted this for my new railing. It works very well but isn't the most sturdy. Could be my application and definitely serves its purpose. But I wonder if it would actually hold up a full grown adult. You do have to push on it fairly decent to move it. Plus I only have 2 4x4 posts using these fasteners and the 3rd 4x4 is fastened to the wall, all in a straight line.

So I saw this on YouTube, and was gonna order it, but originally it wasn't gonna make it in time for when I planned on doing the project. So I bought the one from the big box stores that just gmhad a regular nut. It was absolutely worthless! There was barely any room to get a wrench on it and the only way I was able to get a 3/4 wrench in there was to grind about 1/4" off the side of the wrench. Then, almost immediately, the nut started biting in at a slant and became crossthreaded. I almost got so frustrated trying to get it off I considered just cutting off the newal and starting fresh. After 2 hours, I finally got it off with minimal newal damage. My wife encouraged me to just stop- cool off and order the zip bolt and wait. From the moment it arrived, it took all of five minutes for me to tear open the package and set the newal post solid. This really does work just as fast and easy as the YouTube video and I really wish I would have just started with the zip bolt. I highly recommend it.

I don't write many reviews but I hope this one will help someone installing this in concrete. The bolt works great, the post is solid once tightened. I had a hard time gathering information to find for concrete installations so I'm going to explain how I did it: If you're installing in concrete, make sure your bit is an 1/8" bigger than the diameter of the bolt. Drill down as far as mentioned on the directions. Clean out all dust from the hole with a shop vac, brush, bolt, etc. Get the dust out completely, then I used the following epoxy: Sika Anchorfix-2, super strength anchoring adhesive, Two component anchor system for threaded bars in uncracked concrete, 10.1 fl. Oz https://a.co/d/2JaAc69 Filled the hole up about halfway, then filled the threads on the bolt as well. Work quick, the stuff sets in 4 minutes. I waited a day before I put the post on a tightened it down. Hope this helps someone.

On 2 out of 4 I installed the cam jammed. Had to spend hours just to get it out of the post. Great idea and very strong. Unfortunately, In my opinion the cam Is junk. If it jams as mine did, the cheap metal socket strips. That starts the nightmare. Used a Dremel to grind it out. It took hours to do so.

First, I'm very satisfied with the results of my project. My railing posts are very secure and I believe they will hold up for many years. While the instructions were clear and the product was easy to use, I wished that the company website or product packaging had more information on how to secure the bolt in a concrete floor, which my situation required. A concrete adhesive (the kind with two tubes of product you mix together that sets in about five minutes) worked but I had to research elsewhere and was very nervous about using a quick set epoxy that I wasn't necessarily sure would hold. The ratcheting gizmo is a neat design. It didn't matter for operation but I did find it odd that the bolt threads were opposite of normal (lefty tighty, righty loosey) and I had to keep reminding myself to turn the ratchet the "wrong" way during Installation. I felt that the price was high for what's essentially a lag bolt and fancy nut but I do have piece of mind that no one will tumble down my stairs. One more aspect that I like is that if you ever need to disconnect the newel post from the floor it can be accomplished by drilling out the wood plug, which would enable you to reuse the expensive hardwood post. Update: After several years, I'm increasing my review from 4 stars to 5 stars. In my old house, some high strength epoxy held Super UT Newel Post Fasteners in a concrete floor and the posts never loosened for as long as I lived there. And in my new house, I have purchased and installed Super UT Newel Post Fasteners to secure a wobbly and unsafe railing.

Easy to use, rock solid, and seems to be great quality.

This piece worked exactly as advertised and made our newel post installation simple quick and as solid as it could be Perfect for the do it yourselfer

The rachet gears kept jamming. After numerous attempts, I had to oil the gears and then it finally worked as it should.

Excellent !

easy o use
