Additional Information

Trigger Release

  • Reusable cable ties are different from regular cable ties. Many use a trigger release mechanism, which holds everything together but only releases with a human touch.
  • A finger-catch mechanism at the locking end is designed to be undone quickly so that it does not interfere with fast-paced jobs. 

Pawl Release

  • Pawl release is another option for reusable cable ties. This uses the pawl release button, which is part of the head rachet.
  • Press the pawl handle down, which will release the ratchet from the tie, and you can easily pull the tail out.

Reusable zip ties are heavy-duty and made to be flexible and tough.

Q: Do you have to cut the tail off with side cutters?

A: This is not necessary, but trimming the end will ensure that the reusable zip ties look neat and orderly.

 

Q: Can you reopen a zip tie?  

A: Yes, reusable zip ties can be reopened, either through the trigger or pawl release.
