Rather than using scissors or even side cutters to cut off the excess, (which leaves a nasty edge) try fingernail or toenail clippers. Put the cutting edge right up against the clutch and clip. The result is amazingly smooth. The larger toenail clippers work even better. I keep one in with my Zip Ties.

@rjw7058 2 месяца назад

one thing i learned about using zip ties, if you leave any exposed trailer not cut off flush, and especially ones that were angled cut, beware, those edges are like a razor blade. my advice is to clip them flush to the lock, then sand it down so it feels smooth.

@Russwig Месяц назад

Yes! I use a flush-cut wire cutter as you do on circuit board components that drop through holes and then get soldered in place. It is a cheap way to cut these!

@perihelion7798 Месяц назад

Some good ideas; others are stretching it a bit; some are not so great. A zip tie is too slick to use as a drill stop. I use shrink wrap tubing for repeating depth drilling. Also, there are velcro bundle ties that will work well and are reusable, instead of zip ties.

More than once I thought "And if you use velcro strip you can untie it afterwards without any tools".

@samanthaamaddox8505 Месяц назад

some of these are great tips, others not so much... ONE MAJOR thing to know, if anyone doesn't know already, YOU WANT A CLEAN CUT FOR ZIP TIES, bc those sharp ends will CUT YOU!! AND I PROMISE, YOU'LL BLEED! also another good tip is knowing why the zip tie has an angle at the end, the upwards end is how a technician knows by feeling, which way the zip tie are needed to be closed without having to redo, turn it, or whatever... no one should ever keep a lighter lit for longer than a few seconds at a time.. they will explode... some of your other tips, some made no sense to me, but maybe helpful to others... tks for sharing the ideas!

@franceslynch8815 Месяц назад

Great tips thanks. Also a cautionary tip, disposable lighters can explode causing serious injury💥 They should only be lit for a few seconds⏰️

If you twist the remainder of the zip tie with a pair of Lineman Pliers you will get a flush smooth end. Simply place the Lineman pliers up to the locking head of the zip and turn in a circular motion, rotating till the remaining unwanted portion of tie breaks off

@tracymarie4633 21 день назад

Um... I just twist it with my fingers till it comes off. No tools. Great for camping. Made mini Saw-blade when camping. Used rock to make notches -- sharp, but not much draw. Used it to "split" openings in bigger pieces of wood -- makes them start burning deep sooner, also make fire faggots when no long grass or reeds. Desert camping is odd.

From experience if you tie a wire loom with a zip tie and pull it too tight the wire will short out where the zip tie has been pulled too tight 47 years being a mechanic the zip ties have brought a whole new realm better than tie wire the main thing is is cutting off the end and hoping nobody gets cut with that and have a nice day God bless America
