Crowbar hero Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 (edited) I'm looking for a series of relatively affordable metal cable clips that are screw-in, kinda like the old buckle style clips you don't really see any more. I want something screw in so I can reposition or swap out as I go, without destroying the clip in the process. I'll be using them on T&E mostly, fixed to block and joists, maybe in trunking too. Any suggestions or recommendations? Edited September 19, 2022 by Crowbar hero Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyT Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 Why not just use normal t&e clips and when you are finished wiring go back and add metal t&e hammer in clips every metre? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what constitutes a good looking cable clip anyway..? I think the plastic ones are horrid. especially those that seem to have been installed by the apprentice with his shoe. Most of this would be hidden away out of sight anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyT Posted September 19, 2022 Share Posted September 19, 2022 You can buy copper strip we used to make our own clips when we had multiple pyro runs in parallel of course this was 30 years ago. You could probably use https://www.cef.co.uk/catalogue/products/17254-bare-copper-single-fixing-clip-37-pack-of-50 and go Size up, cut a piece of timber the dimension of t&e and dress the clip? all sounds like a lot of work though..
