I ordered this for tightening up metal zip ties. Tool works great.One of the best features of this tool is how well it enabled me to get secure and good looking tie jobs done. There was a little learning curve. I found that it was better to use a hand tool to snug up my wire ties instead of using a power tool. The power tool ended up having too much torque, which sometimes destroyed my connection. With a hand tool I was able to control the torque well and I got the precise tension I desired. I found that using this tool was superior to any other technique I tried.Definitely some to get for wrapping up headersI've seen another review with a similar statement. Since I don't have much use for stainless ties, I can't comment on how this would work with better quality ties. The ties I have seem to be good enough, but this tool doesn't work well with them. It's a good concept, and if you are willing to pay for better ties, it might be a good investment. I've seen several reviews that claim it is. They may be right. They don't appear to be paid reviews, though it's hard to tell.ExcellentI bought this tool to tighten stainless steel zip ties around a muffler that I want too wrap in a "bandage".It is a good idea since using another tool would not tighten the zip ties enough too hold a muffler wrap in place or without falling off after some time.Works as should, metal tirs are tightSimple must have tool. Makes installing metal tie downs onto exhaust wrap fast and easy. But you could easily make one of these with a spear 1/4” extension by cutting the male end and dremeling a slot down the middle.I had some questions initially about the price/design of this tool i.e. seemed overpriced for its simplicity. However, having used it I find it to be well designed and much more effective than anything else I could come up with for tightening stainless steel zip straps. Very satisfied with my purchase at this point. – DougThis tool makes metal tie wraps a cinch to tighten compared to trying to do it by hand. I use it all the time with my metal zip ties (tie wraps) and it tightens them super tight. Definitely recommend if you're using metal tie wraps.Tool is a must when using metal ties, cinches them nice and tight with ease but be careful not to over tighten and break the metal ties or turn the wrong way.La unica manera de colocar bien y estéticamente los seguros que debe llevar la cinta calórica de escapesIt may not seem like this tool is worth the cost, its deceptively simple. It works and it works well so that's a win in my book.
