Review on πŸ”’ Tie Down Engineering 59155: Strong Certified Galvanized Strapping - 37', Ideal for Securing Heavy Loads by Michael Lucas

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Perfect for making your own mounting brackets

I did not use this for strapping. I've used it to make custom brackets and mounting plates for my woodworking and electronics projects. It's just the perfect thickness that can be bent with tools, but is difficult to bend by hand. So it stays in place until you want it. It can be drilled, use cobalt drill and slow speed with strong pressure, after pushing it in with a punch to prevent walking. He's stuck in a vise. It can hardly be cut with airplane scissors. I could carve and sometimes even melt slots with a rotary tool and a fiberglass cutting wheel. For example, to install the number pad, I cut off a 2 inch piece or so. Then I drilled two holes on one end. I cut a slit onto another with scissors and shaped it with a spinning wheel. ridge point. I then bend it into an L in a vise and also use the vise to crush the metal around the holes and groove. I now have a custom mount where I can put two screw holes in the case and use the slot to adjust the height of the pad until it fits the case. So what ultimately makes me so happy is that it has just the right strength and thickness to flex when you want it, but stay in place when you want it. in order to do this.
