This one caught my eye, and I ordered it. The ties are stainless steel. It's kinda cool how the tie locks. The lever is to cut the tie, so doing that is optional. A tool to release the tie is included, and does work.

I had an old zip tie gun for larger ties that I found somewhere. It was pretty cool. It would tighten to a pre-set tension then clip the end of the tie, all in one motion. The ties were meant for a larger application that what I needed so it was overkill, but cool none the less. Now stainless ties, wow!
Ryan/// ~sigh~ I blew up another bowl. Moke told me "I made the inside bigger than the outside".
I'm going to take one of the SS ties apart to see how it locks. It's smooth metal, and something inside the head locks it, but can be unlocked with an included tool (just a narrow flat blade). They're rated at a couple hundred pounds so whatever locks it is pretty secure.

Recommendations for a good caulk gun to use with Liquid nails? I ruined my nicer one last week because the plunger got so cockeyed it busted the bottom of the tube and the two became one. And this cheapy is far from up to the task. Just needs too much pressure.
Thanks Splint. Home depot has one with a two speed selector I may go grab. I didn’t see anything beefier available locally except battery powered and I just don’t need it enough to spend $100+ on one.
Rich, did the stainless ties come from Amazon? Got a link?
I saw the SS ties on Amazon. I saw Riches zip tie gun and of course had to have one. It is cool...got on of the better ones, it is metal...I think 32.00 or something and is metal. What would one use SS ties for?...sorry to be so dumb.....I mean beyond the obvious automotive uses....
Kenny I have a ryobi powered caulking gun...it is great....I haven't use a squeeze one in years now. I think they are pricey now...sad when even ryobi gets pricey.
Petey---I have a few of those saws and a small miter....box I guess? hard to call it a box, its so little. I used to do some framing and matte cutting...just for myself and my studio and I cut Fillets with that. it works great great...it looks like a toy but works good.
there are a bunch on amazon that look almost the same as mine and splints. run around 20-25. i agree about the one you and splint (top one) have. a waste of money unless it's a one time use.
working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
