#5 you say don’t cut the zip tie….save it for another use. Immediately after that in #6 you slide wires into a sleeve and then cut the zip tie! How stupid are you?
This took me 4 years to watch. Completely to the very end! I had to keep stopping and rewinding to be able to absorb the information for each technique! ha
This video is right up my alley. My husband says I am addicted to strap ties and duct tape. I fix everything around our home with them until he can get to it and fix it correctly. I have every color in every size. It was fun watching this. Now I have to go fix more stuff around here. The strap ties in the glue gun is going to get me into trouble, I just know it. :o)
When recovering an automotive seat with a new covering, usually "hog rings" are the standard auto body shop method of attaching the covering to the seat frame. You need a special pliers for these. But, substitute Zip Ties for the hog rings and you don't need any special tools. Also, the zip ties can be applied loosely and then cinched up tight to tighten the new covering as necessary . You can apply all the zip ties loosely and then tighten them incrementally to get the new covering evenly tight.
Great video! I also use zip ties to inconspicuously connect the ends of my expensive pocketbooks’ crossbody shoulder straps to the rings on the bags, in case their lobster clasps pop open ‘unexpectedly.’ Funny thing, the clasps’ failures only seems to happen at busy airports. The ties are barely noticeable except to a scrutinizing eye, and often the color of the tie can be matched to the bag! If I may add, your demonstration on how to reuse a twist tie after first use is great - never again need I waste a cable tie adding ‘one more thing’ to a previously closed bag of garbage, let alone waste a municipal garbage bag tag!

Nice video. I've done quite a few of these, but a couple of tips for those wanting some. If you're young to use a lot of zip ties, get flush cutters. The nail clippers are good if you don't want to spend $10- $15. And if you're trying to get the zip tie into a tight space and bring it out as to tie in a close space such as a house vent, fold the end then fold a second time to make a "U" shape. This will help with those hard to retrieve areas!
Wow, your zip tie hacks are next-level! I love how you explained the one for organizing cables-super helpful. I'm just starting my own DIY channel and am feeling so inspired by creators like you. Thanks for sharing such amazing ideas
Use long zip ties on a deck rail to keep birds from landing and pooping on the deck. Point them upward and alternatively spaced. Also works over bird feeders.
On a group motorcycle ride, a rider's bike tipped over far from home, snapping the foot shift lever off, making him think he was stranded. I zip tied an Allen wrench to the remaining stub, it worked great, and he rode all the way home, no problem! The funny thing is that we had a couple of motorcycle mechanics on the ride, and they didn't know this trick.

The rear sway bar of my 2012 Ford Mustang developed play at the bushing and an annoying clunk sound. Heavy duty crisscrossed zip ties fixed it, adding just enough tension to eliminate the play, yet still allow the sway bar to slightly rotate as intended. It hasn't worked loose after 9 years.
Ever since I had a muffler hanger fail, I keep two wire coat hangers in my vehicle (along with slip joint pliers, which can bend and cut the coat hanger). No more dragging muffler.
@keithfaulkner6319 These were super-sized zip ties and not exposed to UV light or heat. They haven't needed tightening or replacement for 9 years. If they need replacement every 10 years, it's easy to do.
I bought a 1 pound box of exterior screws for each length. Then I put some of them in a medium sized plastic parts organizer. No more hunting for the right size screw box or running back and forth to get the right size screw.
Zip ties are quite useful for stuff that we used to use hangers to hold up, when stuff breaks under the car. Just don't use them on stuff that gets really HOT.
Duct.Tape... not Duck Tape.. lol Hilarious.. I bet you say the proof is in the pudding... When it is actually.. The Proof of the pudding is in the eating... You kids these days... lol.. Not a clue... lol.. Hilarious
Cable ties can be connected end to end if more length is needed. Also, black cable ties are UV protected against deterioration. White ones are not. I can't speak for the other colors.
At first I didn’t think I was going to get much out of watching this video but there are quite a few great ideas, in particular putting it around a can of WD-40 so you don’t lose the spraying tube is brilliant. The video expands what’s possible with zip ties into areas I wouldn’t have thought of.
I laughed at the studded tires on the bike, but it was a good Idea. I wish I'd have thought about that when I was a kid and rode my bike everywhere. I have a very large duffel bag that I keep 2 sleeping bags and 2 blankets folded up inside of for camping. The removable shoulder strap had plastic clips on both ends that attached to plastic loops. One of the plastic clips broke off and I connected the remaining half of the buckle on the strap directly to the loop that's sewn onto the bag. All of the parts, including the zip ties are black plastic, so it's not even noticeable. It's held for several years, and I can still unclip the other end of the strap. I almost always use the handles to carry the bag, and the strap is tightened up against the bag right where the zipper is. As long as one clip remains, I don't have to loosen the strap to get it out of my way. If the other clip breaks off I'll zip tie it too. Zip ties can be used for permanent repairs like that, not just temporary fixes to get by until you fix it "the right way".
@12:45 - Fan blades can be replaced with zip ties. Replaced for sake of being a white noise generator, but since the zip ties wouldn't be angled like fan blades if used as shown they won't do much to propel air very far. On the other fan there might be some way to angel them although I've yet to give that much though. If they're just temporary you could put the stack in a vice (or two) and overtwist them first. Then, when remove, they have hold that twisted "blade" shape for a little while.
All of the shown ideas are so pretty cool. I am happy to have seen this video. That's creativity and best quality. It's a must have seen video or tutorial. Have a look and as happy as me! Simply described: IT'S GRATE!
There are easy-open zip ties out there. There's an easy to press release tab on the locking device. There are zip ties out there with a mounting hole near the lock specifically to mount the tie to an object rather than stapling the strap. Use a plain dowel rather than a drill for the paint mix application.
There's a few good ones in there. But anyone who has ever tried to use a zip tie as a hose clamp knows they will fail under any pressure. As a drain line, sure.
I found the zip tie lid for cooking pot hilarious for some reason. You have a pot but for some reason no towel in the kitchen? If it was outdoors, how many people carry zip ties with them. Honorable mention is potato chip bag holder for bike, Just finish the bag of chips before continuing the ride. My comment is meant to be light hearted hehe. Great job for the tips
Some really good ideas. Securing the wire by stapling zip ties was silly. Just staple the wire.😄 Using the zip tie on the drill works once since the zip tie can move. If you need to drill multiple holes then tape works better.
@@Chamieiniibet the electric code requires wire to be secured and it is most often done with staples. You do have a point, if you don't have the right staples the zip tie could work. It would make it obvious the job was not professionally done.
@@marveloussoftware4914but most of the cables are round, and I've never seen round staples. And I'd -come at you with a bat- remove you permanently from the property if you tried to fasten my Ethernet, coax or optical cables with square staples. Also, never seen staples used for round cables professionally in either of the 5 countries I've lived in.
@@Chamieiniibet saying you can't use square staples on round cables is like saying you can't paint a square fence from paint in a round bucket. Or you can't use round nails on rectangular wood. The staple is used to secure the wire. There's no code for matching staples to wire by geometry. There's no code for low voltage like coax or ethernet, i don't know about fiber. There are different staples for mc and other metallic cable vs non-metalic or romex and you need to use the right size. Just search for 8-3, round wire, then 8-3 staples. You will see round and square, all according to code. Ive seen numerous residential and commercial jobs and spoke to inspectors and no one has ever made any statement to support your claim at all.
@@marveloussoftware4914 you don't have to post it 4 times, you know? Also you're talking about one single country. I'm talking about the rest of the world.
for the screw container, cut only three sides to make a "window", then attach two zipties tightly at the outer corners of the top of the window and a third zip tie ouround the outside of the container that will then rest at the bottom of these two ties that will then be able to slide down the window to allow the contents to be accessed, and then slid back into place to secure the contents from spilling, allowing you to take the bottle to your worksite, without spilling.
Nice ideas, but whether you snip it or cut it, you're going to have a sharp edge at the spot where the end sticks out just enough to slice your hand open. I've seen plenty of those cuts in the e.r., employees just asking for bandaids.
Use the stainless steel zip ties anytime you use zip ties outdoors and want it to last. The sun will eventually make even the UV resistant plastic ones brittle.
@@joewoodchuck3824 it displaces air yes, but it doesn't function as a fan blade in moving air forward. In other words, the zip ties are worthless as a fan blade replacement.
I've got a full bag of zip ties for free, as those were used to fasten temporary signs all along my street, and they removed the signs by just tearing off, so all the ties were left on the light posts. So I used my pocket knife to collect some ties each time I was walking down the street. Now that I know I can also use them for the glue gun I'm even more happy.

If you reverse your cable tie, it holds wires together and is easy to pull as not locked. Bend it the opposite way and incert then pull out.

I have a very large duffel bag that I keep 2 sleeping bags and 2 blankets folded up inside of for camping. The removable shoulder strap had plastic clips on both ends that attached to plastic loops. One of the plastic clips broke off and I connected the remaining half of the buckle on the strap directly to the loop that's sewn onto the bag. All of the parts, including the zip ties are black plastic, so it's not even noticeable. It's held for several years, and I can still unclip the other end of the strap. I almost always use the handles to carry the bag, and the strap is tightened up against the bag right where the zipper is. As long as one clip remains, I don't have to loosen the strap to get it out of my way. If the other clip breaks off I'll zip tie it too. Zip ties can be used for permanent repairs like that, not just temporary fixes to get by until you fix it "the right way".

Use a plain dowel rather than a drill for the paint mix application.
...brilliant well done...👍...
Okay, I have some zip ties but it never occurred to me to use them for a few of these things. I need to order more now.
your videos are great i learned a lot
There's a few good ones in there. But anyone who has ever tried to use a zip tie as a hose clamp knows they will fail under any pressure. As a drain line, sure.
Yeah, for hoses you need metal screw ties.
Thank you for sharing all these great ideas! I use zip ties often and many of your ideas will be quite useful. Subscribed!

GREAT IDEAS! Loved the video and great production quaility. KEEP IT UP! BLESSINGS…
Awesome !!!
I found the zip tie lid for cooking pot hilarious for some reason. You have a pot but for some reason no towel in the kitchen? If it was outdoors, how many people carry zip ties with them. Honorable mention is potato chip bag holder for bike, Just finish the bag of chips before continuing the ride. My comment is meant to be light hearted hehe. Great job for the tips
When outdoors you just stick a piece of... a stick in there.
Some clever ideas there. 👍
Those "two metal rings" are called washers.
Zip ties or cable ties like they are called in our country must be the product of the century.
Or make a cup from a glass. 🤔
Some really good ideas.
Securing the wire by stapling zip ties was silly. Just staple the wire.😄
Using the zip tie on the drill works once since the zip tie can move. If you need to drill multiple holes then tape works better.
The wire could be too thick, the tie couldn't. Also you might damage the wire if you staple it directly.
@@Chamieiniibet the electric code requires wire to be secured and it is most often done with staples.
You do have a point, if you don't have the right staples the zip tie could work. It would make it obvious the job was not professionally done.
@@marveloussoftware4914but most of the cables are round, and I've never seen round staples. And I'd -come at you with a bat- remove you permanently from the property if you tried to fasten my Ethernet, coax or optical cables with square staples. Also, never seen staples used for round cables professionally in either of the 5 countries I've lived in.
@@Chamieiniibet saying you can't use square staples on round cables is like saying you can't paint a square fence from paint in a round bucket. Or you can't use round nails on rectangular wood.
The staple is used to secure the wire. There's no code for matching staples to wire by geometry. There's no code for low voltage like coax or ethernet, i don't know about fiber. There are different staples for mc and other metallic cable vs non-metalic or romex and you need to use the right size.
Just search for 8-3, round wire, then 8-3 staples. You will see round and square, all according to code. Ive seen numerous residential and commercial jobs and spoke to inspectors and no one has ever made any statement to support your claim at all.
@@marveloussoftware4914 you don't have to post it 4 times, you know? Also you're talking about one single country. I'm talking about the rest of the world.
Thank you.
for the screw container, cut only three sides to make a "window", then attach two zipties tightly at the outer corners of the top of the window and a third zip tie ouround the outside of the container that will then rest at the bottom of these two ties that will then be able to slide down the window to allow the contents to be accessed, and then slid back into place to secure the contents from spilling, allowing you to take the bottle to your worksite, without spilling.
Man, you spent a lot of time researching this!!
don't rush to cut a ziptie with a knife - the very next tip *cuts ziptie with a knife* 😆
Unbelievable 😂
I am at number 32 now and didn't see him doing it even one single time again😆

Genius🤣😂!
Some of these ideas I have used myself many times
Great video, the fanblade substitute obviously wont work out well if you want to use your fan to cool off.
There were many useful tips and tricks in this video. I definitely will be utilizing some of these.
Super Glue and Baking Soda is still the most useful of this genre of vids
Nice ideas, but whether you snip it or cut it, you're going to have a sharp edge at the spot where the end sticks out just enough to slice your hand open. I've seen plenty of those cuts in the e.r., employees just asking for bandaids.
...bit of sand paper or nail file eg. will fix sharp edge...
@@RodneyRawlingI was coming here to say this
Small cuts are natures way of teaching you to be careful around sharp objects.
@@edmartin875 🤗
awesome ideas...can you come up great ideas to make good use of metal zip ties?
Use the stainless steel zip ties anytime you use zip ties outdoors and want it to last. The sun will eventually make even the UV resistant plastic ones brittle.
The metal ones are also much more resistant to heat. For instance, when using near an exhaust pipe.
very satisfying to watch! thx
One of he most useless tips among several., is replacing broken fan blades with zip ties. IT DOESN'T MOVE AIR! It just spins around. LoL
😂😅 tried that with surplus clip fans
You could use it to mix paint. 😅
It moves air around, one might say ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It does move air but the movement isn't axially which is what's needed. It will move air radially instead.
@@joewoodchuck3824 it displaces air yes, but it doesn't function as a fan blade in moving air forward. In other words, the zip ties are worthless as a fan blade replacement.
Great ideas.. remember, stock various sizes so you don have so much to trrim off and discard - use the best size for the job.
You can use zip ties to easily install new motorcycle tires, loved that method myself and my sister uses it as well
I've got a full bag of zip ties for free, as those were used to fasten temporary signs all along my street, and they removed the signs by just tearing off, so all the ties were left on the light posts.
So I used my pocket knife to collect some ties each time I was walking down the street. Now that I know I can also use them for the glue gun I'm even more happy.
16:59 and 17:04 beautiful kitties ❤️😻🐈
I've seen zip ties that are 6 feet long, Dexter Morgan quality.
There were many good ideas in this video. And some totally inane ones. Overall good video!
Very helpful. Thank you. SUBSCRIBED
