I majored in Zip-Tie Studies in college and find this to be extremely helpful.
BEST hack/DIY video I've seen to date and I watch tons!!! wish all were like this, almost everything very useful imo and no wasted time! great work!!!
A bag of mixed zip ties and a roll of duct tape and you can conquer the world. Great video,
If I can't fix it with a zip tie or duct tape, it can't be fixed.
Exactly what I was thinking.
settle down, macgyver
With the added benefit of fire and water
You didn’t show how great handcuffs they make. Cops love ‘em.😂
Exactly what I was going to say! 😂
one thing i learned about using zip ties, if you leave any exposed trailer not cut off flush, and especially ones that were angled cut, beware, those edges are like a razor blade. my advice is to clip them flush to the lock, then sand it down so it feels smooth.
Yes! I use a flush-cut wire cutter as you do on circuit board components that drop through holes and then get soldered in place. It is a cheap way to cut these!
@@Russwig and I'm using some your ideas, thnx
I've got a deep 4-inch cut in my arm from the sharp cut-off. I did melt it down with a cigarette lighter, but obviously not enough, so be careful of that.
This is a great video and great tips. I'm going to use a lot of them, thank you❤
Took the words out of my mouth👍
You are right!
Number 1 is my favourite. The times I've picked up my top opened pack the wrong way, and they all fall out. Grrrrr. The side opening is a great idea.
So great I'm going to reseal my pack and cut a hole in the side instead.
(Of course the manufacturers could just sell zip ties in a zip lock bag, but that would be too easy)
@@fdabelstein most of my zip ties DO come in a zip lock bag! lol but i agree, if they dont #1 is GREAT
I had the same problem as you 😂 This video helped me solve it
Rather than using scissors or even side cutters to cut off the excess, (which leaves a nasty edge) try fingernail or toenail clippers. Put the cutting edge right up against the clutch and clip. The result is amazingly smooth. The larger toenail clippers work even better. I keep one in with my Zip Ties.
great tip!!!
Cats make everything better! 😻😻
Not if a person is allergic to them.
💯
@@matthewk6731 Bummer, dude.
@@matthewk6731 buy a Russian blue cat they are for people that are allergic to cats.
You are a certified zip tie technician. Thanks for the great ideas.
Surely a Nobel Prize is in order.
The white kitten was icing on top of the cake 🥰.
I use a flat head screwdriver instead of a razor knife it’s safer to release the tab
You sir, think out of the box.
Amazing work.
Yes!! I’m gonna use the flashlight on bike idea!! My (plastic) attachment broke last summer…
Thanks so much 😊
This video is why they made youTube
Thank for the tips man 👍
Genial in its simplicity! From OR, Sardinia, Italy
I have used the zip ties on tape and it works great 😊
some of these are great tips, others not so much... ONE MAJOR thing to know, if anyone doesn't know already, YOU WANT A CLEAN CUT FOR ZIP TIES, bc those sharp ends will CUT YOU!! AND I PROMISE, YOU'LL BLEED! also another good tip is knowing why the zip tie has an angle at the end, the upwards end is how a technician knows by feeling, which way the zip tie are needed to be closed without having to redo, turn it, or whatever... no one should ever keep a lighter lit for longer than a few seconds at a time.. they will explode... some of your other tips, some made no sense to me, but maybe helpful to others... tks for sharing the ideas!
Amazing cat. So sweet. ❤
What breed are they?
Some good ideas; others are stretching it a bit; some are not so great.
A zip tie is too slick to use as a drill stop. I use shrink wrap tubing for repeating depth drilling.
Also, there are velcro bundle ties that will work well and are reusable, instead of zip ties.
More than once I thought "And if you use velcro strip you can untie it afterwards without any tools".
Thankyou so much for help 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Zippy-dee-do-tie zippy dee yay, What wonderful idies coming your way!!! lol
I'm going to organise all my wires with #5 right now!! Genius!!
I use giant zip ties for "boning" in my 18th century reenacting clothing. Much cheaper than the "real" stuff!
I like the homemade zip tie!!
Clever ideas!
Thanks for sharing.
🙈🙉🙊 😎 🇺🇸
You need to get some of those zip tie cutters that cut them off flush, no more sharp edges, get them at Harbor Freight or anywhere thats sells tools 👍
I have a commercial zip tie gun. You adjust the pressure from 1 of 5 settings then it pulls every tie to the same tension and pulls the end off leaving a safe edge.
Amazingly cleaver. Love it.
Awesome, creative ideas! Who knew?! Thanks.
Great tips thanks. Also a cautionary tip, disposable lighters can explode causing serious injury💥 They should only be lit for a few seconds⏰️
And leave black soot behind.
I use a heat gun or a butane torch depending on the material, size and/or project.
If you twist the remainder of the zip tie with a pair of Lineman Pliers you will get a flush smooth end. Simply place the Lineman pliers up to the locking head of the zip and turn in a circular motion, rotating till the remaining unwanted portion of tie breaks off
Um... I just twist it with my fingers till it comes off. No tools. Great for camping. Made mini Saw-blade when camping. Used rock to make notches -- sharp, but not much draw. Used it to "split" openings in bigger pieces of wood -- makes them start burning deep sooner, also make fire faggots when no long grass or reeds. Desert camping is odd.
Impressive!!
Thank You for the Great Ideas!
number 10 : how to mess up your drill bit and drill chuck in 5 seconds😄
The very best selection of technical use of a material I've seen. Thanks!
Zip Ties and Bias Plys 💯 Mint!
Seems like this in genius Young man didn’t have really much to do one day and had a couple of bags of tiedowns zip ties very clever
Some of these are so extra. But some are genius level.
You can avoid the sharp edges left by cutting off the excess tie, by merely twisting it a couple times with pliers. Leaves smooth edge.
Fence repairs
Ingeniously brilliant! 🙂
The best comprehensive video I've seen on zip ties. For #19 I was thinking of bird feeders! Thanks for posting. Instant sub!
Very clever!
I have to get alot more zip ties.yeah.
use wire side cutters to cut the end off flush and avoid leaving sharp nastiness. Side cutters are also much easier to use than scissors.
I love how he showed the tape roll hack and then later on actually using tape fromn a roll and used pair of scissors to cut it instead of the tape roll hack he JUST showed us lol.
I need somebody as creative and skillful as you are! Just until everything is in good order. 😂❤
Good stuff, Methgyver!
Great video, good luck
C’est excellent 👏🏻
If you want to make a kitty litter scoop, drill the bottle neck with the cap on, so the litter can't fall out of the open neck
AWESOME THANK YOU 😁
Definitely sum cool ones. One I have use b4 Is I’ve ran out of weed eater line when I was almost done and didn’t want to run to Lowe’s or Home Depot when I only had about 15 min left so I have used zip ties as weed eater line and let me tell u it work just as good if not better.
From experience if you tie a wire loom with a zip tie and pull it too tight the wire will short out where the zip tie has been pulled too tight 47 years being a mechanic the zip ties have brought a whole new realm better than tie wire the main thing is is cutting off the end and hoping nobody gets cut with that and have a nice day God bless America
Specially the last one, the spinner will cut fingers for sure.
41 years as a mechanic when when i was a 1st year apprentice my journeymen showed me how to take it off clean with the side cutters. just twist it with the head of the pliers it breaks off clean. he then said to me nobody will get their arm ripped open
I use zip ties for just about everything 😂
One thing I don’t use when working with zip ties is scissors
amazing
Nail clippers do decent flush cut on zip ties
Ok wow. I’m sold and I’m only on #2!!
Cool trick- stagger them around drill bit and u can use ur drill and bit as a miniature weed eater for ur wife’s garden or flower bed where a weed eater would shred everything.
@jamiemichael4190 Thank you, I was looking for that exact hint!! I will be using this out in my flower beds and also to help me get out some of the weed roots. 🤗
My 1st thought -- Weed-eater! Great paint mixer. (Scrambled eggs? Tee. Hee.)
Your cats are precious.
Awesome!!! I use zip ties all the time. You showed me new ideas. Thanks
Thankyou for awesome ideas👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Can we get clapping for the real hero of this video : the drill😂
Great ideas, thanks, I love them!
Thanks
COOP
...
Genial. Thank you.
This was very educational and enjoyable. Thank You😊
A good idea to remove a tie zipp 👍
So cool,thanks.
Lots of good ideas but there were many where I had NO idea what you were doing. Would just a little explanation, either oral or written be too much to ask? But for the ones I got, cool!
very clever!
This guy makes MacGyver jealous!!
Woo😮 Really creative, the video is amazing
So simple and yet ingenious. Thank you.
Number 5 is my favorite so far.... 🙏💜🌻

Am I the only one that just spent $90.00 on an order of zip ties? 😅
Yes, I'm afraid you are~!!!! Damn that's a lifetime supply~!
Maybe
@Navy_Snipe, SO! That's what all this zip ties were for in the boiler room! USN 73-77 MR3 USS BLANDY DD 943 & USS VULCAN AR 5 HomePort Norfolk VA Sail On Sailor.
Planning on doing some work next century, see. Hey, future plans are what keep ya alive.
Lol!😂
9:57 How did he open the can like that ? Can somebody please explain ??
Amazing tips. May we remember where need be. Traveling with zip ties seem smart .
Came for the ideas, stayed for the music. I almost jumped up and busted a move.
We fish colored zip ties through the jaws of the fish we 3:16 catch when a group of us go deep water fishing. Each person has their own color, so we know how to separate our catches when we get to the dock.
Use wire cutters instead of scissors.
*Never, NEVER, **_NEVER_** cut a zip tie with anything but a zip-tie gun. If not cut flush, it leaves a super sharp edge that WILL slit your (or the next guy’s) wrist when reaching into the cable bundle!*
i use my lineman pliers. not the wire cutter part. twist it around with the head of the pliers. it breaks off clean leaving a smooth edge.
Thanks for the tip in case I want to hurt someone 👍🏽🤗
flush cuts only.
OR cut flush and use one of these great lighter tips to melt the raw edge down smooth. Lol
I melt those sharp spots away
Many excellent ideas in this video. but using them for shoe laces is a real stupid idea!
Have none of these people ever heard of flush cuts?
Zip tye uses
Spend about $9.00 and get a "board trimming clipper." It's tiny and for snipping off soldered components on printed circuit boards. They are excellent for tyrap's and zip-ties, as they don't leave a sharp edge for someone to get cut up on! NEVER CUT THEM WITH SCISSORS!!!
For number 19, where would one get the bottles?
number 40 : I wish someone would come up with a magnet + ball bearing + zip tie life hack. Just for the fun of it.
Most are variations on one theme: an improvised handle.
This is what I call Mcgivher moves
You need to pick up a pair of flush cut snips. Icon from Harbor Freight are pretty good.
when you have hammer everything nail
I use them on my knife. If your knife has a hole ,opening (like) Spydaco. Put it in the hole pull tight.
When you pull out of pocket it will catch añd start to open
#33 that cat is like, ok, finish filling this box for me if you want me to use it!
Oh course you'd have to ride bike on snow
If one cuts the end of a tie off, melt the cut edge with a quick heat by a lighter. Those ends are sharp, jagged and dangerous to eyes, body, and wrists.

I dont get the cat one?
There houses were zip tied together. If you look closely, you can see the zip ties that connect one to the other. Also, their houses look like boxes with T-shirts pulled over them with the neck hole in the middle so they can climb in and out. I have two cats that love their condominium status. I put one box on top of another and the queen kitty of course gets the top box condo.
The shoe laces almost took me out
