Tie guns can be had for a song. In some cabinets that we do, guys like to tie wires to other wires to other wires. So when your trying to trace a wire, and you try to pull a wire and it does not move! Or you push you hand into a bundle and get cut! Pisses me off so much!

That ain't right. Unless your burning oil.

I've seen guys kicked off jobs for that.

We always twist them off.

Bigger bundles are better! Once you exceed a size 28 Adel clamp, it's too big.

When I'm tying wires up where I know I'm going to be back in there I use my crack pipe torch and melt the ends. Those thinks can be like razors!

Yep. That's the approved method.
