Default Zip-Tie Haiku

Be Alert Dear Ones
To trim loose ends
What seems mere nylon
Could be a wire

Trim that tie
trim it well
blood will tell
a story of poor decision.



Stein has a really good tie trimmer. $9 bucks I think.

Simply take an El-Cheapo side cutter to the belt sander.

Remove the bevels on the face until it's smooth. That bevel is what leaves behind the sharp, skin-cutting tie-wrap end

Best,
