What material are the clips made from?
The clips are made from a tough, shock-resistant material with PE elasticity.
How many clips are included in a pack?
Each pack contains 100 cable clips.
What type of surface can I install these on?
They are suitable for most indoor or outdoor DIY jobs, typically on wood, plaster, or drywall.
Do I need any special tools to install them?
A hammer is required to drive the integrated nail. For very hard surfaces, a drill may be useful for pre-drilling pilot holes.
Are these clips suitable for electrical mains cables?
They are suitable for securing cables up to 5mm in diameter. Always ensure that any cable securing method complies with local electrical safety regulations.
Troubleshooting
Clip not holding cable securely
Ensure the cable is within the 5mm maximum diameter. Check that the nail is fully hammered into the surface. For very smooth surfaces, consider adding a small piece of tape to the cable for extra grip before clipping.
Nail bending during installation
Use a hammer with a controlled swing. If installing into a very hard surface, pre-drilling a small pilot hole slightly smaller than the nail diameter can help prevent bending.
Clip breaking during installation
Avoid excessive force. If the surface is exceptionally hard, a pilot hole is recommended. Ensure the clip is properly aligned before hammering.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Position the cable against the desired surface.
Place the cable clip over the cable, aligning the nail with the surface.
Using a hammer, gently tap the nail into the surface until the clip is securely fastened. For harder materials, consider pre-drilling a small pilot hole.
Compatibility:
These clips are specifically designed for cables with a maximum diameter of 5mm. They are ideal for common thinner cables like speaker wire, thin network cables, alarm wires, and other similar gauge black cables.
They are suitable for use on most common building materials including wood, plaster, and drywall.
Care:
Wipe clean with a dry or slightly damp cloth as needed. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
Ensure clips remain securely fastened to prevent cables from becoming dislodged. Periodically check for any signs of wear or damage.
