Troubleshooting
Cable tie won't tighten
Ensure the pawl inside the head is correctly aligned with the teeth on the strap. Check for any debris obstructing the locking mechanism.
Cable tie breaks when tightening
The bundle may be too large for the tie's length, or excessive force is being applied. Try a larger tie or loosen slightly and re-tighten gently. Ensure the tie is not weakened by extreme temperatures.
Difficulty cutting excess tail cleanly
Use sharp flush cutters or a dedicated cable tie cutting tool for a precise cut that avoids sharp edges.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:

Compatibility:
These cable ties are universally compatible with most cable types, including electrical wires, network cables, and general household items. They are designed for use in ambient temperatures and should not be exposed to prolonged direct sunlight, extreme heat (above 85°C), or harsh chemicals, as this can degrade the nylon material over time.
Care:
Unicrimp cable ties are designed for single use and do not require maintenance. Once applied, they maintain their hold without degradation under normal conditions. For optimal longevity, store unused ties in their original packaging in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
