Cable ties are also known as zip ties because of the zipping sound that they make when they are closed around an object. However, its main purpose is to bundle cables, wires and tools together for easy storage. In some cases, they are used as handcuffs when large crowds get out of hand and there aren’t enough official handcuffs to go around.
Using a standard cable zip ties is relatively easy. The first step is to circle the tie around the objects that you wish to bundle. The second step is to place the end of the tie that looks like an actual tie and thread it through the square notch on the back of the tie. From there, you simply tighten the tie until you have a tight fit. To release the tie, you will need to cut it with a pair of scissors as the bond will be too strong to try to undo on your own.
A cable zip tie is an easy product to use without a lot of effort or skill. They come in many colors and are usually made from plastic. They can be used in your home, in your shop or even in the car if you don’t have a proper tool box for your emergency supply kit.

Our latest guide to stainless steel cable ties examines how to use them and how to cut them and, most importantly, how to tighten them safely.
Serving exactly the same purpose as nylon 6/6 cable ties, stainless steel cable ties are manufactured from marine grade 316 stainless steel, making them perfectly suited to conditions where weather-, corrosion- and chemical-resistance is required. Stainless steel cable ties offer a wide working temperature range (-80°C to +538°C) and unequalled strength (up to 160kg, depending on the size of tie) and so are used where strength and fire resistance is needed. Stainless steel cable ties are also available with an epoxy resin coating or a PVC coating, ideal for use with galvanised steel, where strength and reduced abrasion are necessary.
Stainless steel and coated stainless steel cable ties are used to bundle a variety of cables, wires and heavy assemblies in severe temperatures and the most extreme environmental conditions. They are used in a range of domestic and commercial settings including, but not restricted to, the automotive, electronics and transportation industries.
Unlike a nylon cable tie which features a ridged surface that creates a locking barb, a stainless steel cable tie is completely smooth, which makes them difficult to grip. Metal ties have a self-locking, roller ball mechanism which require less strength when securing them. However, although they can be installed by hand, it can be difficult to secure them as tightly as required. In such cases, a pair of pliers can be used to pull the end of the tie.
Being made from metal, stainless steel cable ties cannot simply be cut with scissors, although for the odd, individual tie, tin snips or pliers could be used. When installing metal cable ties, a specialist stainless steel cable tie tool is always recommended. These are designed to automatically adjust the tension of the cable tie and cut the excess off at the same time. At cableties-online, we stock two tension tools for stainless steel cable ties; the installation tool for stainless steel cable ties and the heavy duty tool for stainless steel cable ties, both of which are available individually or in multiples of 10. Manufactured from top quality metal to give long service, both tools will tighten and cut to leave a clean finish, and both are suitable for prolonged, volume use.
Our stainless steel cable ties, epoxy resin coated ties and PVC coated ties are all available in a choice of two widths and in lengths up to 1000mm. Additionally we also supply metal detectable cable ties. These are nylon ties with an evenly spread metal content throughout the length of the tie that can be detected by X ray equipment and metal detectors. They are used in the food manufacturing and pharmaceutical industries where product contamination must be avoided.
