316 Stainless Steel Flush Lifting Handle, Marine Grade Boat Hatch Pull Handle with Mounting Screws, Heavy-Duty Recessed Lift Ring for Boat Deck, Floor, and Home Furniture, 1-Pack/2-Pack

Looks nice. But, I haven't installed it yet

The dimensions of this handle are as described. The handle is generally as described, however, it should be noted that only the top surface of both the base and the handle are polished. The remaining surfaces are pretty rough, particularly the top edges of the lifting handle which actually have sharp raised flashing all around, both on the inner and outer diameters. In addition, there is also sharp raised flashing on the top corner of the base where the handle contacts the base when lifted up resulting quickly in noticeable marking of the top surface of the handle (see photo). It may be possible to remove the flashing with a file but it would be pretty tedious work. The screws fit very nicely in the counterbores of the base, sitting exactly flush with the base surface (see photo). The screws are totally non-magnetic. The handle (both base and lifting handle, however, are unxpectantly quite magnetic - unusually so for 316 stainless. 316 stainless can be somewhat magnetic depending on how the metal was worked, but is generally less so than 304 stainless. This handle left me wondering on the material (is it on the lower end of the nickel content spec or ?). In summary, this is a functional, but pretty rough stainless handle. The dimensions are as advertised. The supplied screws fit well. Without some flashing cleanup , fingers can get cut by the sharp metal flashing. Fit of the lifting handle in the base is quite variable.

I got a project boat. I didn't really like the latch that was on the livewell lid, and this one is much better. Being a flush design it will sit flat and you can step on it as walking across it without any issues. Because this handle is recessed, you will have to cut a hole into whatever you are securing for the latch to fit flush. Check the width of whatever you are cutting to ensure it is not too thick. This set comes with 4 screws.

This lifting hinge seemed like it would be a great value for 316 stainless. Unfortunately the questionable material, extremely sharp edges and bad surface finish in all non-polished areas let it down.First impressions were okay - mirror finish on the top, but as soon as I lifted the handle, I noticed extremely sharp edges. Not only are the edges not deburred but the top of the handle was touched up on a grinder, producing an edge that's sharp enough to shave plastic (see picture).My next surprise I was when checking if the material was attacted to a magnet. It was somewhere between what I expect from 304 and regular steel. Normally 316 is almost completely non -magnetic, but it can become become weakly magnetic when cold worked. I didn't have the equipment to test for molybdenum that should be in 316, but instead gave the hinge a bath in salty vinegar overnight. While not producing outright rust, a few spots definitely show pitting after this treatment. It may still be 316 (formulations for casting can be a bit different), but I have my doubts.Given the price, I wasn't expecting this to be on the same level as ultra premium marine products from Europe, but it was a lot worse than similar budget marine items.
