"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!"

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.

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]

electronic side cutter, nothing else.

[@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.

[@mikequinn6206]

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.

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.

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...

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。

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.)

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.

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.
