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:
Okay - thanks for the answer, much appreciated! I think I’m going the ‘tape over sharp edges’ route for now ... quickest & easiest for me, cheapest, too. I’ll just have to deal with replacing the tape at some point in the future, but it’s not critical to maintaining the integrity of the panel, just a ‘safety’ item. The good news is that I do not have to worry about the stainless ties ‘breaking’ every year, like the plastic ones would do.
As for the wire panels instead of plastic mesh panels overall, I really like how they’re turning out ... stiffer & sturdier for sure and even with the tape, they look a heck of a lot neater than the old mesh panels.
