Zipbolt14.100 Super UT Staircase Newel Post Fastener - 6 Pack - Includes 6mm Hex Bit with Quick Release Shank

Made life easy when installing the 8 newel post. No wrench needed and when it came to leveling and pluming the post the cam assembly made it quick. I bet it cut the installation time in half if not more.Dave Fisher FB: One Room Schoolhouse Renovation

These came with the newer hex head which would make installing them a breeze with an impact driver. The only drawback is there was no impact socket in the package. I had no issue installing them with a large adjustable wrench, it just took a bit longer. Don’t forget to lube the threads before screwing then in (I used pipe dope, some videos I watched recommended wax).

I installed 5 of these zip bolt newel post fasteners and they worked GREAT! I highly recommend them to anyone who is looking to install a newel post.

Nice and snug secure posts. Somewhat difficult screwing into the base due to small predrilled hole but worth it for results.

The thing I figured out on these is that while the video shows these being zipped in with a drill driver... Start them by hand, then use a drill driver. I stripped 2 of these out just using the drill driver. Once they were started I used my impact driver and they are solid!
