15 Amazing Tricks with Cable Ties that EVERYONE should know

[@Alotipsalo]

"Absolutely brilliant! These 15 tricks with cable ties are pure genius. I particularly loved how they can be used to prevent over-drilling by acting as depth stops. It's such a simple yet effective solution. This video teaches us the importance of resourcefulness and how small, inexpensive items like cable ties can solve everyday problems. Kudos to the creator for such valuable insights!"

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

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.

[@creationholic101]

Hello! thanks for your recommendation. Wish you all the best!

[@wrayevert6303]

Best and smoothest flush cut using Stanley knife and or blade only.

[@SuperMadmonk]

[@LivingMyBestLifeIAm]

He cut it pointed on purpose to cut through the tape

[@jamesconroy7030]

I learned that years ago as a bicycle mechanic. You can get a pretty nasty scratch on your inner leg from the end of the zip tie anchoring a cable/hydraulic line to your top tube. Toenail cutters clip it off just as smooth, and faster than razor blade without risk of scratching the bike.

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.

My son rear ended another car - CARS ARE ALL PLASTIC NOW - THE WHOLE FRONT END WAS CRUNCHED IN!! The black plastic bumper was broken, the "grill" was in pieces - a black honeycombed pattern - Alaska here - no quick repair available. He went & bought super glue & black cable ties. Took 3 hours to meticulously put the pieces back together & it is AMAZING. All I need now is the plastic "chrome" thing that went across the front...

Some cable ties have this feature. Some do not. At some point, some companies figured out that they'd rather make you throw away the zip tie after 1 use and buy another 1.

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.

On remote radio sites, i always make two or three loops with a single tie. This way, on the next service call, if i forget to bring spares, i can cut the tie (with a razor blade) right below the large end and re-use the same tie with the spare length provided by the loops. BTW, trick 2/15 gives a really professional look with multiple RG-214/U coaxial cables.

[@mathamour]

😃😃 1:30 " Another interesting technique involves using one or two cable ties to create a figure-eight shape. Here's how you can do it: First, take two cable ties and form each one into an 'S' shape. Then, manipulate these S-shaped ties to create a figure-eight ( 8 oo ∞) configuration. Once you've formed the figure-eight, you'll notice that it creates two circular openings (the two 'O's of the 8). These circular openings can now be used as passageways for your wires or cables.😁😁 .

[@creationholic101]

Thank you for sharing this detailed technique! It's a great way to use cable ties creatively.

[@rlar27]

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

[@creationholic101]

Thank you! Cheers!

that kind of tape you can cut by stabbing it with anything remotely sharp: even the tip of a ball point pen works. especially easy to open boxes.

Yes it was but I will have to watch that part many times to figure out what he did. But what will I use the strips of plastic for? Guess that's for another video! I appreciated learning how to open a closed zip tie. Some people are just super talented.

[@k.g.1259]

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.

[@creationholic101]

Thank you for sharing your feedback. Have a good day!

[@thardyryll]

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.

[@creationholic101]
