FAQs
Can these be used on concrete walls?
No, these clips are designed for wood, plaster, and drywall. They are not intended for use on concrete or masonry.
Are these clips reusable?
No, the clips are intended for permanent installation. Removing them usually damages the nail or the mounting surface.
What is the maximum cable size these support?
These clips are specifically sized for 5mm cables.
Do these clips rust?
The clips are made from durable plastic, but the included nails may rust if exposed to extreme humidity or moisture over many years.
Can I paint over these clips?
Yes, the plastic material typically accepts standard latex wall paint if you wish to color-match them exactly to your wall.
Troubleshooting
Nail bends upon impact
Ensure you are using a hammer of appropriate weight and that the surface is suitable; stop hammering if you hit an obstruction behind the wall.
Cable slips out of the clip
Verify that your cable diameter does not exceed 5mm; if the cable is too thin, the clip may not provide enough tension.
Pros and Cons

- Professional, unobtrusive white finish

Cons

- Single-use design makes repositioning difficult
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Installation requires only a standard claw hammer. Ensure the surface is solid, such as wood or drywall, and avoid mounting on concrete or metal surfaces where the hardened steel nail may bend or fail to penetrate. For best results, place the cable in the desired position, hold the clip firmly over the cable with one hand, and tap the nail head squarely. For care, keep the remaining clips in a dry, cool place to prevent the plastic from becoming brittle over time. If a clip becomes loose, it is generally recommended to remove it and install a fresh one nearby rather than trying to hammer the same nail into the existing hole, which may no longer provide a secure grip.
