FAQs

What are these cable ties best used for?

They are suitable for a wide range of tasks including gardening, electrical installations, sign installation, point of sale applications, and general bundling of cables and other items.

Can I make the loop bigger if needed?

Yes, these cable ties can be joined together end-to-end to increase the size and diameter reach.

What is the temperature range for continuous use?

The ties have a temperature range for continuous use from 40°C to 85°C.

What are the exact dimensions of this specific tie?

This specific Forgefix Cable Tie is white, measures 4.6mm in width, and is 200mm in length.

How many cable ties are in a pack?

This pack contains 100 cable ties.

Are these ties suitable for outdoor use?

Yes, they are suitable for gardening and outdoor sign installation, within their specified temperature range.

What makes the tightening mechanism work?

The tie has a tape section with teeth that engages with a flexible pawl in the head, acting like a ratchet mechanism to prevent it from loosening once pulled tight.

Troubleshooting

Tie won't tighten or slips

Ensure the pointed end is correctly inserted into the head and that the teeth are properly engaged with the pawl. Check for any debris obstructing the mechanism.

Tie breaks during tightening

Avoid overtightening, especially if bundling rigid items. Ensure the tie is not stressed beyond its tensile strength. Consider a wider or stronger tie if this is a recurring issue.

Difficulty joining ties

Ensure the end of one tie is fully inserted into the loop of another before tightening. Make sure both ties are free from damage or obstructions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Insert the pointed end of the cable tie into the head of the tie.
  2. Pull the tie through the head until the desired tightness is achieved.
  3. The pawl within the head engages with the teeth, preventing the tie from loosening.
