15 Amazing Tricks with Cable Ties that EVERYONE should know 

The wife and I had been trying to conceive for many years, then we ordered some cable ties from Amazon. Within a week she was pregnant! She's now very happy and living with the delivery driver, thanks cable ties!

Oh my goodness! I just had to stop the video and tell you how much I LOVE your idea about using the left-over snippets of the cable ties to make a screw fit into a hole that's too big for it. What a great idea. Please show more ideas for using these little left-over pieces. Thank you so much for your wonderful video. Yes, I'm now a new subscriber! PEACE

Paused at #9 to fix a loose door latch. Worked like a champ!

Ezeket az ötleteket megjegyzem és szükség esetén használni is fogom. Köszönöm.

I like the way he takes an extra moment to enjoy his new zipper pull

You should have mentioned the most impressive cable ties available: the re-usable ties for applications that require release and re-attachment of things, and the awesome Stainless Steel ties, which can also be re-used by sliding the tip back through the ratchet to release the locking ball.

These are pretty slick. Thanks in particular for #13 (how to open a closed cable-tie.

The best way I've found for trimming the end off cable ties is to use a fingernail or toe-nail clipper. That will trim the end flush with the clutch leaving it smooth feeling. I keep one right in with my container of cable ties.

Well that makes a change from some of these video. I use cable ties a lot but there were some things there that I had never thought of.

GOOD WORK DUDE..... I THINK THE FIRST HACK,,, IS EXELLENT,,, WEN I WORK A FESTIVALS.... WE ARE ALWAYS DROPPING,,,THEM OUT OF THE BAG... COZ WE RIP THE TOP OF THE BAG,,,, NOW THAY ARE CONTAINED... AND LESS RUBBISH 2 PICK UP AT THE END OF FEST,,, V COOOOOOOL CHEERS DUDE

#2 is brilliant! I would have never thought of that! Just would have wadded the whole thing into one mess!

Some great tricks, thanks for sharing!

That Paint Mixer was Genius, I will be using for sure.

Muy útiles todos, Muchas gracias por compartir. Saludos desde Sonora, México.

Problem #7 is better solved with a suitablely sized plain key ring, works very well. I liked the way our man trimmed off the excess every time. Walking around London and other UK cities last year, I noticed that scaffolding around many buildings under renovation on busy streets were festooned with protective padding, held in place with cable ties. Virtually none of the ties were trimmed off, leaving long plastic tails sticking out horizontally, ready to catch the unprotected eyes of passersby, of any height.

WOW!! Showing us how to reduce plastic waste by making our own cable ties out of plastic bottles is BRILLIANT! I am always looking for new ideas on for cutting down on plastic waste. Thank you so much. I'm looking forward to your next video. Keep up the good work; it's important. PEACE

That trick where you use cable ties to tie cables was really great.

the last trick is awesome!... I've bought a similar thing from eBay to cut pl. bottles into strips and I'll use them to make my own ties... thnx!

So clever!!! Thanks for the tips!

Hello from Australia. Very clever uses of cable ties.

Join two together?? That's AMAZING!

This is perhaps the best video I have ever seen on RU-vid. I especially like the way somstimes they used black cable ties and then sometimes clear cable ties. Amazing.

man! have you not spent your entire life working with these things wow ... pretty informative

私はタイラップの余分な所は爪切りで切ります。 ハサミやニッパだとどうしても残ってしまい、手が当たったりするとケガをする時があるし強く縛ることもできます。 爪切りで最初はワザと少し残して切り、残った部分を爪切りで引っ張り強く縛った後に余った部分を根元から切ればスッキリと切れ、手で触ってもケガはしません。

There's a few good ones here. I like the tape cutter, the mixer and the hole fix.

It’s really amazing tips. Cheers from Brazil. 🇧🇷

Rubber bands, pipe cleaners, paracord/string, and tape can also be used to make some of these jobs quicker. The trick with cutting the shipping tape is cool!

Tip 13 is THE BEST!!!

אתם תותחים! תודה רבה.

The spacing on the wiring is good idea but yeah, gotta have a adaquite shielding or they’re gonna bleed through

I would use a split key ring for the keys that way you can always remove a key without having to use another tie

That first tip was a keeper.

日本からです。こんにちは🌞 すごいアイデアと技術に驚きまして。本当に素晴らしい🎉 特に真似したいのは、コード類を綺麗にまとめるアイデアです。 ありがとうございます😊

Rubber bands work great to hold WD-40 nozzles. If a zipper pull breaks, use a piece of nylon cord or ribbon instead. Loop it, tie it and heat the knot so it won’t loosen. When you use a zip tie it looks crude. Cord or ribbon looks like original material. Dental floss wrapped around a screw will work as well or better than a piece of zip tie. The example in the video had a huge hole, which is unlikely. And making your own zip ties? Life is way too short and zip ties are way too cheap to bother with making your own.

Du hast immer wieder ein paar ganz tolle Tipps dabei. Bei manchen muss ich lachen und bei vielen darf ich staunen. Du hast eine tolle Seite. Danke dafür. Deutschland, NRW, OWL, Gütersloh ❤

Gratidão. Muito bom e de muita utilidade. Maravilha.

Sou de guarapuava no Paraná ótimas dicas obrigado

Up next - a mind blowing idea using bread, jelly, and peanut butter

One very important tip you missed….. flush cut your cable ties, never use scissors…. Just use them to your tape instead?

Grazie per i preziosi consigli. Semplici e validi .

There's 13 mins and 33 sec's of my life i'm not getting back.

I made it to 2 minutes and thats 2 minutes of my life ill never get back. Save yourselves

Thank you 👍

4, 5, 11, 12 & 15 are dumb. rest are great

Last one made me smile!😂

Some great ideas ~~ Thanks ! 👍 * Similar to #1 (the cutting of the bag) I also cut a few ties into 2" or 3" pieces which will then each hold about a dozen ties convenient in the shed, tool box, tackle box, car, etc., etc. * Now I'm feeling old too; for the loose keys and repairing a zipper head, I've been using paper clips since the 70's.

amazing ideas. who knew?

好聰明的用法

De la lume adunate și iarăși la lume date ! Mulțumim . Salutări din România !

I promise - I've done no. 6 myself - the rest, I LOVE!

❤❤❤สุดยอดเลยครับ😊

Très ingénieux .merci .un grand bonjour d'Algérie

Muy buenas ideas y fáciles de llevar a la práctica. La 13 no la conocía. 👍👏

I like the tape tearing tip, the limiting drill bit, tightening the hole for the screw, drawing a circle, and showing how to reverse the zip tie. (I thought it was unwise to begin with such a commonplace use, put that one in the middle.)

All 15 items are of value, however the string in the middle of the paint can to dab the brush as opposed to the side of a paint can was of interest!

I like 2, 8, and 10. Those I will have to try.

BRILLIANT!!!!!

Excelentes ideas muy práctico! Gracias

I’m a big fan of zip ties but the biggest aha for me so far is the tape!

Tolle Tricks 👍🏼
