This set of turnbuckles will work great on our raspberry trellis. They're stainless steel, will function well without rusting in the weather, and the 55-lb weight rating will work well to support our bushes as they fill with leaves and berries. They are well-constructed, operate smoothly, and are a great value for the price. I'll also be using one to support one side of a wall-hung shelf in our garage that will hold coolers.

These will work perfectly for a wind screen I plan on installing on the deck area. They're the right size and they operate smoothly. They'll be outdoors in weather that can be harsh so we'll see how they hold up to corrosion.

This is a very good product. The turnbuckle is made of 304 stainless steel. I’ve had it out in the rain and snow for about a week now and there is no sign of rust. All the pieces screw and unscrew very smoothly; it’s easy to adjust the tension by turning the buckle. I have a couple of these cinching down a 3/32 inch thick wire rope on which I’m going to drape some plant frost blankets. I really like that one end is a closed eye but the other end is an open hook. That makes it easy to connect this to the closed eye on the ground anchors I’m using. The range of the turnbuckle is from 4-5/8 to 7 inches. They come in a nice plastic case that will keep them clean until I need them.The only thing to keep in mind is to ensure you get the right size for your needs. As you can see from the photo, there is quite a difference in length between an M5 and an M6 turnbuckle. What may not be clear from the photo is that the M6 is a heavier gauge steel (M6 = 6mm, M5 = 5mm). The M5 has a working load limit of 88 lbs while the M6 has a maximum load of 250 lbs. The M6 will have much more strength, but if the M5 (this product) meets the strength rating for your application, the steel on the eye is thinner and easier to attach the thimble for wire rope. This is a fine product.

This review is for 5pcs M4 Stainless Steel Turnbuckles Tensioner for Cables Wire,Turn Buckle Tensioner,Shade Sail Hardware Kit,Heavy Duty Adjustable Turnbuckle for Tent InstallationYou get five M4 turnbuckles with one end a closed eye and the other an open hook. The eye is non-magnetic and could be 304 stainless, The threaded center and the open hook are slightly magnetic and are not 304. They may be 410 or some other alloy. The hook's sides are flattened. No burrs were noticeable. The threads are loose fit, which should make operation under tension easier. They are adjustable over a 1.5" range..These are budget priced, but perform acceptably for various line tightening uses.I used these on an antenna mast guy system using 1/8" stainless wire rope. I was able to get them tight enough to support the mast in a moderate wind without flex. I used a small piece of safety wire to prevent loosening. The ends of the body are cast flat, so a M4 nut could serve as a locking device.They should provide good service for a very reasonable price. Deducting one star because material is not all 304.

These are handy but I am doubtful of the 55 lb. workload rating because the screws fit loosely through the threads of the buckle frame. Also, I trust they are made of steel but the look and feel is more consistent with galvanized iron. I will be using these to tighten the rails of my pontoon boat so I will update if there are any functional disappointments.

I’ll be installing a small DIY windmill this summer, and for added security I’m running a few small diameter down-guys to keep it from tipping over. Of course a slack down-guy is of no use, so I’ll add a turnbuckle or two to tighten everything up.BENPOBA is offering a five pack of stainless steel (304) turnbuckles that can be purchased in different sizes to fit your needs. Looking the five turnbuckles over showed no flaws in the finish, and the threads rotate smoothly. I elected for the hook and eye model as it fits my needs, but other configurations are available.Depending on different variables, I generally purchase Stainless steel over Galvanized plated metal for maximum corrosion protection. Of course it’s a juggling match between cost and corrosion protection. As I’ve haven’t actually installed the turnbuckles yet I can’t really judge how well they will hold up over years of use.The last thing I can’t measure it’s its load capacity, or how much you can tighten it up before running into trouble. I can’t imagine, considering their size, that one would tighten it to the point of failure.So in all it appears to be a sound product that meets my needs, and I’m looking forward to the snow being gone so I can get to work.

These turn buckles have made my steel wire project much easier by allowing me to cut and loop cables at a workbench and then use this to bring tension to them when they're hanging in place.
