Question .... have you ever used one of these tools?
I took another look at it this morning (watched video, too) ... I see two different results. One shows the cut end of the zip tie sticking out a bit, maybe a quarter inch, or slightly less. The other makes it look like it cuts it off just about even with the locking mechanism. When I read the comments, people who have used it said there is a sharp edge.
I am wrapping the tie/sharp edge (I have a small tab if I cut it close) with some duct tape - very sticky, weather resistant. I’m also considering not cutting & just folding the long end back over the locking part & taping it - that would hold it tight for sure & no sharp edges to cut the tape. I’ll have to replace the tape at some point in the future, but I will NOT get cut! There is more weather ‘proof’ tape (Gorilla - pricey) and that will be an option when I replace the tape at some point down the road.
No I have not used that particular tool. I’ve used the industrial version with great success for many years. I suspect there is a technique one needs to develop to hold the clamp tight against the tool when you’re cutting the tail off. My work toolbox has five different kinds the guns for all different kinds of tie wraps. They all require some finesse to work properly. This is the one I use:
