I don't trust them: potentially unreliable, won't stay blocked under certain conditions.

I went back to write this on purpose after a disappointing first use. As others have pointed out, I have found that these nuts tend to loosen if their head is held at an angle after tightening that allows the locking tab on the head of the zip tie not to go the full length of the zip tie in tie to incise the grooves. In the last bag, it is better to make "heads", which definitely will not allow the same mistake. Perhaps this is because the ties are noticeably more fragile than the standard ties. For basic use with wire/cable bundles they look like they'll hold up, but I'm not sure they're reliable for anything that involves more strenuous applications. Who would have thought that cable ties are also normal and of poor quality?

Pros
  • delivery was very fast
Cons
  • crumpled
