KEMANI M6 Ball Studs
Product description
What to know
The 10 mm ball is the key detail here: these KEMANI ball studs are intended as end fittings for compatible gas springs and lift supports. A matching ball connection can help link a strut to a supported panel or lid.
The listing gives an M6 thread, a 33 mm overall length and a 14 mm screw length. It describes the studs as steel with zinc plating, a practical finish for hardware used around cabinets, tool boxes or campers.
Keep in mind that the quantity details conflict: the listing says 10 pieces, but its package description also specifies four ball studs, four washers and four nuts. Confirm what is included before relying on a particular number of complete fittings. Compatibility is described as a reference, not a guarantee for every gas strut.
How to use it
Before fitting one, compare the existing connection with the listed dimensions: the ball measures 10 mm, and the threaded part is M6. Check that the strut end is designed to attach to a ball stud and that the mounting point can accept the thread. For example, on a lift-support lid, the stud needs to match the strut’s socket as well as the mounting location, a similar-looking fitting is not enough to establish compatibility.
The supplied washers and nuts may be relevant to securing the stud, but the package information is unclear about the exact count. Don’t plan an installation around all the hardware being supplied in a particular quantity until that is confirmed. No installation torque or detailed fitting instructions are provided in the product details.
Practical tips
Treat the dimensions as your first selection check, rather than relying on the word “universal”. Compare the 10 mm ball and M6 thread with the part being replaced, and account for the listed 33 mm total length and 14 mm screw length. The description names gas springs, gas struts, lift supports, tool-box cabinets and campers as possible applications, it does not identify specific strut models.
If you’re replacing several fittings, make a simple count of the studs and matching hardware you need before ordering. The conflicting quantity information matters more in that situation than it would for a single repair. Zinc plating is noted, but the listing gives no further detail about environmental or corrosion limits, so don’t treat it as a stated guarantee for a particular setting.
Before deciding
Will these fit any gas strut? No universal fit is established. Check the ball size, M6 thread and the connection type on your strut.
What are the stated dimensions? The ball is 10 mm, overall length is 33 mm, and screw length is 14 mm.
How many studs and fasteners are included? The listing gives a 10-piece quantity, while the package description names four studs, four washers and four nuts. The exact contents are unclear.
In your case
May suit you if you’re replacing a ball-stud fitting and have already matched the 10 mm ball and M6 thread to your lift support. Given its design, it’s a parts-first choice: useful when those measurements and the mounting style are known, rather than a complete gas-strut replacement. It may not suit you if you need confirmed compatibility with a particular strut or an unambiguous count of complete fittings. If either point is essential, choose only after confirming the fit and package contents.
