I just drug that sucker out to air up my tires...hose, extension cord and everything.
Those are some hot tits, Blaine.
Its still generous of you to go to the trouble - you have to pack it up and ship it off, etc, etc. I for one appreciate that...
Thomas and Betts TY527MX TY524MX are just 2 part numbers, many different sizes and panduit makes some too... get real zip ties not chicom crap... fuck, I am behind again...sorry for the dublicate
We had them when I was in the Army in 2002, cobra cable ties were the shit back then for low profile...Satisfied T&B metal-tab tie user here, reporting in - next year will be my 30th year! About 15 years ago, our local Home Depot carried them, but then stopped carrying them and closed them out at a ridiculously-low price (like 80% off or something.) I bought them out, and the very last bag has a couple dozen left in it now.
I do have some "Cobra" ties that do not have a metal tab that I've been trying very recently because they are low profile, and don't leave a skin-slicing tab, and I'm pretty sure I first heard about them from someone here. I've had good luck with them for tying wiring harnesses cleanly to the chassis, but I still use the T&B metal tab ties for "mission critical" tying.
Very soon, I'm going to have to spend the big bucks replenishing my T&B stash...
Yeah they have an overwhelming part number system. I ordered 200 7” 50 lb and 50 13” 120 lb. I’ll critique as I go from there and see. Pretty much always use the 7”. I use a lot of Chinese 4” but it wouldn’t be a bad thing to use 7” instead. Or just get some T&B or Panduit 4”.
I use the Hitachi. I don't know that the weight of the Milwaukee is worth it.Those are some hot tits, Blaine.
Just because I haven't seen one doesn't mean they don't exist. I work in the industry and have seen something close to twenty different kinds of cordless framing and roofing nailers and none were very fast. Some were down right pathetic. (think one nail every four or five seconds) Time is money out here where it snows. Milwaukee is a popular brand and I know a handful of guys that have the whole kit and caboodle. They don't have the nailer you mentioned, though. Maybe because they can't afford it. Not my business why.
Is a $350 cordless framing nailer worth the price? If I was a framer...yes. But I'm not a framer and my pneumatic will work just fine for my needs.
The longer ones are a few pennies more than the short ones. I can always cut one, I don't own a stretcher yet. So, I buy 12-14" versions which also helps to fish them around bundles in place already.
Width is what I look for, I buy them by the 1000 per size for work. Longer is better than too short. wire bundles would be goo for the short ones, I used the 12" or longer for things around coolant lines and hoses.
Thanks, will definitely take a look at those too. Already ordered T&B but next time I need some I’ll Evaluate the price.
That is a very valid point. Have to cut them anyways, making them longer by default is not bad. Seems like the long ones are usually more expensive significantly which is why I’ve always bought the shorter ones for their use. When I’m back to the computer I’ll do more looking. Thanks for the link.
Got some time to look at the link and you are right, these make most sense to buy in the longer versions. Went with 1000-ct 14 inchers, 50 lb. More than enough for tying wire. I also bought the Milwaukee flush cutters as well as some of their various pliers I have wanted forever but never pulled the trigger. And then I checked out their socket sets and bought all 3 because I need good socket sets once and for all. Fuck, my wallet hurts, but I'm sure I will appreciate all of the purchases.
