Review on Gardner Bender PTP 250JT Low Voltage Staple by James Turpin

Revainrating 2 out of 5

GB redesigned

The old blue clamps were sized to hold the data cable straight. All new ones are too big. Basically, they're GB's staple of blue plastic quad shield coaxial cable. This allows the cables to swing and slide freely. I think it's ok in some cases, but it's hard to keep your cable runs from sagging, and eventually everything sags and looks dirty (and cleanliness is a big part of why you get them in the first place). Even if the cables don't fall to the floor, I'm definitely not a fan of the new size.

Pros
  • Cable clamps
Cons
  • Cable shorter than other picks
