Ancectree String Light Hanging Kit，Guide Wire for Outdoor String Lights,Vinyl Coated Wire Rope Wire Cable Outdoor Light Guide Wire,Include 182fts 304 Stainless Steel Wire Cable, Turnbuckle and Hooks

My husband and I installed the wires and attached two 48 bulb light strings in about three hours. I did do some planning/layout work in advance. In general the kit is impressive and flexible and saves what is likely several trips to the hardware store. We only augmented the kit with a couple of items for our particular implementation - we wanted a thicker cable with a thicker plastic coating for the part that went around the tree to protect the bark more, supported by a couple larger hooks screws into the tree. Also, while we used the enclosed twist ties to attach each of the lights, I dont know if they will last - they are pretty light duty. We augmented with zip ties and added tape to the cable at the ends/turns to prevent sliding. As mentioned in some other reviews, we struggled getting the clamps on the wires because the holes were too small. Smart hubby used a 7/64ths regular drill bit on the holes and everything was easy after that... Probably a minor risk that the holes are no longer smooth and could cut into the vinyl coating after a while, but since they are clamped down now with the screws think it will be fine. The vinyl coated write cable and other accessories seem to be good quality.

I see alot off reviews saying the wire doesn’t fit into the holes on the adjustable locking screws to create loops at the end of the wire. Unscrew it first so the hole is open before sliding the wire through, it’s easy and works just fine. With that said, I hung lights and used the mechanism to tighten the tension on the wire as it’s intended. The wire slipped through the locking screws, stripped the coating on the wire and fell to the ground breaking bulbs, twice! Sure I made it pretty tight, but that’s what the kit is for. Tomorrow I will put 2 of those locking screw things on each end, to make sure this doesn’t happen again!! It’s a good kit, but if you really want it tight, you need to reinforce the locks that create the loop ends so they don’t slip. I would buy and use this again, but double up the locks if you plan to have tight tension. Extra crimps or double the screw locks. I will now go through the trouble tomorrow so they don’t fall down again, and hold sturdy for the long run.

The wire that comes in the pack is too thick to fit through the adjustable locking device

The wire Is good and strong. Lots of accessories. The small part you put the wire thru to loop it is useless. You cant get the wire thru the second time and have it tight...

This is a great product and great value.

No comment.

I was provided two bags of the same pieces, and I’m missing screw eyes lag thread, eye straps, lag screws, and plastic anchors.

Used these to string 200 feet of commercial quality patio lights. Easy and rugged.

Good cable that is used for light applications. The listing is spot on, according to the dimensions of everything. Unfortunately it’s really a little small than I had expected...but, still did the job. I would buy again!

Wire did not for in parts had to go purchase at hardware store
