Zhushan Fastening Tie Wrap Gun with Adjustable Tension and Built-In Flush Cutter for 0.09-0.19 inch Nylon Cable Tie Tightening - Professional Grade Cable Zip Tie Tool

My purchase, March 2023. After trying other iterations of this tool, I finally bought this design and it does just as I need. My main use is to attach small rubber hose to the outside of steel tubing with 1/4" cable ties, or zip ties are we call them. The tie has to collapse the rubber hose at the point of fasten. To do this, the tie has to be pulled to near it's limit. Before buying this Zhushan design, I was having issues breaking ties and/or cutting them after tension. With this tool, I still have to be careful with the tension as this design does not have a way to preset tension, which would increase the mass or size of the tool and make it difficult to fit into many places. However, this is a small trade off that my usage can afford.Once tensioned, the cutter on this Zhushan works very well. Remember, this price point will only afford you so much, so though the cutter works awesome, it is not a true, or high end, flush cut. So there will be a very small nub at the point of cut, but the cutter on my Zhushan does such a good job actually cutting the tie tail, that it is acceptable. In other words, the cut is square and not smashed sharp like so many other tie cutters.So for use home owner types, or users that can't afford nor have the actual need for the high end very expensive zip tie tools, this one works, and should be considered. 2 thumbs up, and if I need another one, I will definitely look for this Zhushan again.

Pro: Quality tool, works right every time, requires only one hand to operateCon: Pulls the tie tight before cutting it off - no way to leave slack in the tie.Figured this would be a luxury item for my toolbox.I find myself using it nearly every time I'm working with tie wraps.Cannot recommend this tool strongly enough.

I'm only giving four stars because seller couldn't tell me how to set tension past five so I figured out another way using nylon spacers. I can now set the tension easily even beyond six

Nice

It what I've been needing,works great

This works very well and so far has held up to daily use at A/C company

I bought this one for wider ties. The only problem was the cutter blade broke on the first time using this tool. I can’t find replacements blade so now I have to use flat snips to cut the ties flush. It’s not a big heal but just make me think I got ripped off.

Worked great
