Q:So the rise and run of a set of stairs is not necessarily the same as another set. Infact the can change in a stairway if landings are involved. So how do these shoes fit? Sorry stairs and handrails are not something to mess with. Get a stair guy.

Q:This is really stupid! The top and bottom caps are made to fit into a 3/4" diameter hole. Most tread holes are 3/4" and the bottom cap will fit. But, the holes in the bottom of the handrail are 5/8" in diameter and the top caps won't fit.

Easy is an understatement
If you have pre-drilled 3/4” holes and a metal grinder to cut the balusters to size this project can easily be done in less than a day. Also, the instructions are very easy to read and understandable. The only reason I did not give this 5 stars is because the bottom plug needs to have at least a metal/zinc receptacle for the top of the nut to be held in place; two of my bottom plugs stripped pretty easily because it was entirely (soft) plastic. Overall very happy, would 100% recommend.

Can't imagine changing the balusters without them!
Extremely happy with the end result. Due to the previous install, we had a lot of drilling that needed to be done (widening the holes (top and bottom) to 3/4" and going deeper to 7/8 - 1"), but once we got past that, it was all super easy. Not all of the screws were screwed all the way in, but that's a minor thing. On the Q&A, someone asked if these were sold in bulk and told no, but they do come in 30 piece Pro Packs for $49.

The stair parts worked perfectly! We cut our balusters a little bit too short. However, we were able to purchase the 1/2 inch parts which actually worked better than the epoxy! Without these parts we would have had to purchase new balusters. Our upgrade from wood to iron worked out great and my stairs are beautiful!

AWESOME PRODUCT!!$
This system is so awesome to use. It was easy and the instructions were easy to follow. I love DIYing a project whenever I can and this delivered the desires results I was looking for!! It is sturdy. The best part is it is not permanent. Most applications now a days use epoxy to secure the balusters to the rails. This uses NO EPOXY. That was a plus for me. If I ever decided to change them out it is as simple as loosening up the shoes (which I would highly recommend using) twisting the baluster "clockwise" and removing.

We purchased this product after researching a couple of alternatives. The product was very easy to use and apply to our project. During the project we had questions about a unique aspect regarding our railing. We contacted the Tap and Twist Company directly. Company Representative Steve Vibert called me back a short time later. Steve consulted with others and found a solution to the issue we were trying to address. It was very refreshing to see a company take such an active role in regards to great customer service. Steve and the company were very responsive and accommodating to what we needed, even going above and beyond our expectations. Thank you Steve and TNT! Our project worked out to be great and exceeded our expectations!
