Very happy with my purchase of the Cable Tie Tensioning Tool, Cable Tie Gun for Cable Tie 2.2mm to 4.8mm width because it is simple to use and very inexpensive. It does a much better job of tightening cable ties by hand or even pliers. The only problem for me now is that I am looking at all the cable ties I have in my basement to fix or replace the ones I have previously done when running wire.

Simple to use tool for anyone.

weak design -- after a few uses it seems to have deformed and is no longer able to add a lot of tension to the cable tie. It still sort of works -- and if I apply a clamping force on the top and bottom near the tie pulling pawl it can still pull fairly tight but I would avoid this tool if you are going to use it often and need tight cable ties.

tie wrap keeps slipping

Useful for tightening zip ties

works well
