FAQs

What is the exact cable diameter these clips are designed for?

These clips are specifically designed for cables up to 12mm in outer diameter. They provide a snug fit for this size and can also hold slightly smaller cables.

Can I use these clips on brick or concrete walls?

While the nail can penetrate softer materials, it is not designed for hard surfaces like brick or concrete. For these materials, you would need to pre-drill holes and use appropriate wall anchors.

How many cable clips are included in a pack?

Each pack contains 100 cable clips.

Are these clips reusable?

These clips are designed for permanent installation. Once the nail is hammered in, attempting to remove the clip will likely damage it and potentially the mounting surface.

What is the body of the clip made of?

The clip body is made from a tough, shock-resistant polyethylene (PE) material, offering good elasticity and durability.

Can these clips be used outdoors?

Yes, they are designed for both indoor and outdoor DIY jobs, offering resilience in various conditions.

What tools are needed to install these clips?

You will need a hammer to drive the attached nail into the mounting surface.

Troubleshooting

Clip does not hold the cable securely

Ensure the cable diameter is close to 12mm. If the cable is too small, consider using a smaller clip or bundling multiple smaller cables within this clip. Check that the clip is fully seated against the surface.

Nail bends or fails to penetrate the surface

The surface may be too hard. Try pre-drilling a small pilot hole slightly smaller than the nail diameter. Ensure you are using a standard hammer and striking the nail head squarely.

Clip breaks during installation

Apply force evenly when hammering the nail. If the material is very hard, pre-drilling is recommended. Ensure the clip is not being stressed at an angle.

Clip feels loose after installation

The surface material may be too soft or crumbly. Try a different location or consider using a larger clip if available. For very soft materials, using a small amount of appropriate adhesive alongside the nail might help, but this is not a standard use case.

  • Offers excellent value with a pack of 100 clips.
  • Durable construction ensures long-lasting cable management.
  • Integrated nail simplifies installation, saving time and effort.
  • Suitable for a variety of surfaces and environments.
  • Keeps cables tidy and prevents tripping hazards.

Cons

  • Requires a hammer for installation.
  • Not suitable for very hard materials like concrete or brick without pre-drilling.
  • The 12mm size is specific and may not fit cables larger or smaller than specified.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Select Location: Determine where you need to secure your cable.
  2. Position Clip: Place the cable clip over the cable at the desired location.
  3. Align Nail: Ensure the attached nail is perpendicular to the surface.
  4. Hammer Nail: Gently but firmly tap the head of the nail with a hammer until the clip is securely fastened to the surface. Avoid excessive force that could damage the surface or the clip.

Compatibility:

  • Cable Size: Best suited for cables with an outer diameter of approximately 12mm. It can also accommodate slightly smaller cables by providing a firmer grip.
  • Surface Type: Compatible with wood, drywall, plaster, and other soft to medium-density building materials. Not recommended for concrete, brick, or metal without proper anchors or pilot holes.

Care:

  • These clips are designed for single-use installation. Once hammered in, removal may damage the clip or the mounting surface.
  • For cleaning around the clipped cables, use a dry or slightly damp cloth. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
