I Regret Not Learning These 70 Zip Tie Ideas At Age 40

[@StupidEarthlings]

71. Can't afford engagement ring? No problem, just let the little lady choose the zip TIE color of her choice.. 🥰

you must be joking

[@davidlium9338]

That’s hilarious! But she might hit me over the head!

[@jacquelinemccully912]

Great video! For idea 4/70, please don't tighten the zip tie against the tree trunk. Trees continue to grow in width, so a tight zip tie will harm the tree. Be sure to leave some space so the tree can thrive...loosening/replacing the zip tie as the tree grows.

[@zaphodrahja]

I was going to say this too, to keep loose, also better if wrap with something soft because when trashing in the wind can still cut into the trunk.

[@anitajinfla9762]

I've used thin strips of a cloth to secure and tie. Definitely have to check often so even if a zip tie is used, it won't get embedded or hinder tree/plant growth.

[@SamSung-fp2vj]

Flowing the tree to flex also strengthens it...

[@dshe8637]

Yes, was going to say that zip ties aren't good for plants. A strip of stretchy fabric is better. Old tights are perfect

Tip from me: keep zip ties in car in case of auto accident. I was able to zip tie my front bumper to keep it from dragging after hitting a deer.

[@lovemauihawaii]

...useful tip, plus you can use zip ties to repair the deer.

For the last tip, using different coloured ties would make identifying the required cable even easier.

[@indigodolphin]

For cables, I feel it's best to use those "velcro" type ones, since they'll be undone and redone more. Just more readily reusable.

[@athenskwn]

Don't leave zip ties on trees and shrubs for too long as they will eventually go into the trunk as the tree grows. This will eventually kill the limb.

[@shirleyandrews1152]

U R so clever‼️. Thank you

[@PioneerPeralta]

Thank you liked your video 👍🏽

[@bellagirlgirl8827]

Awesome idea - who knew!!!!! 👏

[@daz4312]

Fabulous video, lots of great ideas! However, for the love of God do not use scissors, snips, or wire cutters to cut them off!!! It leaves a wicked sharp chunk sticking out that can cut you or the next person very badly. One tech I know laid his forearm open to the artery on one hiding down inside a cabinet. As a telecom tech, I was provided a set of flush-cut pliers specifically to use with tie wraps. Also called zip tie cutters. We were absolutely forbidden to use anything else to cut tie wraps. Put the flat side of the flush-cut against the head of the tie and it trims the end off perfectly flush with no sharp end. Every single day I curse other cable monkeys who used their snips to cut tie wraps when I have to come in behind where they worked and left all those little vicious thorns sticking out. Take a little time and do it right! Please! I am never without my flush-cuts on the job and frequently end up trimming off ones I find sticking out where I am working. Safety first! A recent coworker was so happy with it he swiped mine after I loaned it to him for a day. I wasn’t too upset about it since I made a convert!

[@MamaVickie123]

Toenail cutters work great too. They show this later in the video. I found out when I couldn’t find my snips and the nail cutters were on the bathroom sink. LOL

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="193">3:13</a> You don't have to drill a hole in the dowel. Just wrap it around the outside. In fact, you don't even need the dowel. Anything else, even another zip tie will do for the back of the board.

Or drill 2 small holes instead of a larger one. Tie goes in one, and out the other.
