Review on 🔗 HYCC 100pcs 11.8 Inches 304 Stainless Steel Cable Zip Ties - Heavy Duty, Multi-Purpose Locking Zip Ties Ideal for Exhaust Wrapping, Fence, Pet Cages, Outdoor, and More by Daniel Shivashankar

Stainless steel cable ties are great for UV or heat related installations. For example, attach the heat shield under the hood of the car. The problem you will encounter is that the zip ties are applied in a pseudo-reverse method rather than at right angles, with the ribbed teeth on the plastic zip ties pointing inward. Not only that, you just CANNOT pull them as hard as you can with finger power unless you are a super man woman Revane with arm power. It's best to use an expensive SET GUN (if it clears the work area) or TWO sets of pliers and gloves. With pliers it goes well: with a simple pair of pliers with a sliding joint on the side, press against the plane of the locking head; Then use another needle or pliers to pull back the stainless steel tail you inserted into the fastener head. You'll likely need to wrap the tail to get a firm hold, using slip joint pliers as a pivot. Success! WITH PRACTICE. These stainless steel cable ties appear to be well made. None of these broke on assembly unless I mis-slide with just ONE pair of pliers, in which case the stress damaged the bolt head. Recommended for applications requiring extra strength. After you trim off the excess tail, I suggest you apply a drop of high temperature silicone gasket cleaner or a similar product to the fastener head to hide the sharp edges.
