I would have a really hard time believing anyone would ever really need one, especially since you need to put the tie on manually first anyway before you cinch and cut it, However most factory workers most likely had one, so to duplicate the precise flush cut....That's 3 for yes :P
I was really pleased with the quality of this gun. With the ties I have been using, it has been cutting them nearly flush and without a sharp edge.
The gun has a nice solid feel to it. Nothing seems flimsy and nothing is rattling.
I used to have an much more expensive Panduit gun and I feel like this is performing on the same level.
No. But keep enjoying that consumerism.Jenn laughs, I would like to think we all do.... Those who like tools, also know they make money. ;D
One could look at it like this.... You buy 10k in tools (and a zip tie gun) And do something that pays back the tools, that zip tie gun gets paid back by say a set of craftsman sockets, and a air ratchet...
So we are back to practical or not, this guy makes a good case for yes, should anyone be interested. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA8c9TP0ax8....But (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA8c9TP0ax8....But) Jenn only cares for others around here that think it would be fun to play with one at any cost, (but most likely lower end yet practical as far as usefulness)....If any of you guys got a different (not so popular) tool on your workbench Jennifer would love to see it please. :P
All right Don't need a piano to fall on my head,... 3 yes, 2 no...*Edit, If D/O/Man is saying no too, that's 3/3
I retired from that job April 1 of this year.

Congrats! :cheers:
My threads need a good Hijack from time to time, Congrats on that retierment ;D.... I already bought 2 of them a few days ago, got a sweet deal on to of them, (haven't got them yet) so this thread isn't really about Jenn anymore, more about the others who may want/need one too, (Although secretly I would wish yots to review that one of his as a benchmark)....T/gamer, P/m me with that "Not so popular tool" :o (giggle) I like those wraps, and for those Mame guys that would be the answer, However for me personally, Jenn is more into restorations, and that wasn't used much, arcade machines were put together really fast with state of the art tooling for the day, even today its hard to reverse engineer them. Its more like "How was that done".....MikeA, the whole world is a restoration community. so go get yourself a welder and get to work >:D
Infact if you want to keep it real ide suggest cutting them with a rusty serrated pair of cutters lolI chew them off with my teeth.

Rusty scissors" that's funny (Jenn cackles)....Although I haven't looked into it, My guess the history of the zip tie originated during the war, for the aerospace ind. and judging from past projects didn't become popular until the early 60s (possibly late 50s), that and linoleum. :timebomb:
No, it all came from the saucer wreckage they found at Roswell. Velcro too.

False. Only marble and lightning contact paper came from the Roswell saucer wreckage.

I booked a suite anticipating that someone would need a room, but nobody took the bait, er I mean offer.
Zip tie chainsaw massacre?, Oh yes Jenn bought 2 of them and actually tried a third one, They are awesome and will do a real review when I can,.. Heres a fun pic for you guys, More rarely used tools, Those that know what your looking at I am impressed ;), For the rest of us, its a vectorscope (I had 5 of these, blew one up, parted one out, and still have 3) It was used to match standardized color signals at tv studios and movies, before it got transmitted. Jenn matches the squares up to calibrate RGB on arcade monitors after work as to use a baseline for reds, greens and blues, People that say they can do it by feel lie....I do NOT recommend this unless you are really retentive about color, there is NO information available as to its use (that Jenn can find) and required lots of experimentation.
A zip tie gun is only for expedience if you have to zip tie a million times a day.
Cancel the order and save yourself some money.
The "tensioning" of zip ties seems ridiculous to me. Zip ties are stepped... It's tightened up to each step, no in between "tensioning"...I think what your missing is a wire is rarely strait, its got the shape of the spool it came off, well put multiple together and suddenly your pulling on a mess at least until the tie realizes where it is supposed to be.
On a side note... Anybody want to buy some wire tie twisters for your bread loafs?
Get the fuq outta here...

I just bought one of these to try - an open source CNC router! Do I need it? Hell no, but it's cool.
try shooting him with a paintball gun. It worked on the bum begging for money at the intersection near my house.

My $25 zip tie gun review..
It took me 3 zip ties to get the hang of it..

The tail of the tie gets slid sideways a tiny bit by the way the slot is designed. But I think you have to keep you finger there anyway to hold it in place.
Once you do that - it creates a nice clean flush cut.
I'm going to ziptie the crap out of my cabinet once I'm 100% done.. maybe.. :)
**UPDATE** The zipper gun is fun!, I find Jenn gets a bit carried away and uses too many ties however, and has to hold back as to not be wasteful/ impractical (recommended for tool nerds)..... But today its crimpers I am thinking, I have had many over the years and some are expensive, some are cheap, and most just suck in terms of quality, My new crimping test victim http://www.engineer.jp/en/products/pa09e.html (http://www.engineer.jp/en/products/pa09e.html) again affordable to all, but it pros/cons according to reviews being it only does 1 crimp at a time, which makes me think it potentially stresses the pin bending it twice, and it doesn't ratchet, or made in the US obviously, My attraction being it is considerably thinner in design than the removable quick change jaw types (Not a fan) and could be considered more user friendly in manipulating a crimp pin. .... Anyway its in the mail and we will check this out.
