Rail Bolt Wrench - for Use with 5/16" Handrail Bolts

Got it for work and it actually makes my job easier, would recommend

Handrails were loose at a few joints and main newel posts. Did have to make a slight bend to tighten one bolt near a baluster. Fantastic!

Needed a new wrench, haven’t hAd chance to use yet, seems durable and as promised.Delivery no issues, very fast.

I bought this wrench to tighten nuts on rail bolts. The average every day wrench will not work in these tight spaces. Unfortunately, this wrench is not totally finished and, as a result the width is not uniform. See attached photo to see what I mean. This meant that, while in the case of two of the three nuts I wanted to tighten the wrench worked fine, in the third one, the thicker part of the wrench prevented me from getting the wrench around the nut in the tight space. Two minutes with a file removed the excess metal so that the wrench now fit in the space for the third nut and I was able to tighten it. The wrench as modified by me would merit five stars. The fact that I had to take a file to it reduces my rating to four stars.

Best tool you'll ever need to work on stair railings. Price it on various websites selling staircase supplies, you'll be happy you bought it here & saved money!

It allowed me to actually tighten the rail bolts with ease.Without this wrench, it was impossible to get up into the 1 inch hole with a regular 1/2 in wrench to tighten the bolts.I could not have completed the job without it!!If there is any criticism at all it is that I could not get it sooner.

The tool helped me get the job done. Great for driving on the bolt and putting on the nut with the rubber band, however it was still difficult to tighten the nut in the confined space. I ended up grinding the tool off just below the socket so that there was a bit more leeway for turning. I was then able to accomplish the task. The tool is durable enough, but not amazing.

This wrench is exactly what I was looking for. Made my job so much easier.
