<p>Added some more information</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>We use the Metal Version of this stuff for making custom hoses / repairing hoses at work. Seen the fiber reinforced plastic type occasionally for some packages (Warehouse Shelfing made from Steel Tube in a Bundle IIRC)\<br /> <br /> All in all works pretty well, the steel stuff would be recyclable i&#039;d imagine too. Most have a special tool for the ratcheting akin to what marcin linked for the plastic version, but you &quot;set&quot; it with a [[Non-Sparking Hammer]] on the anvil part, then clip off any excess with [[Metal Snips]] (&quot;Aviation Snips&quot; / &quot;Tin Snips&quot; etc)<br /> <br /> We also have a cart for all that at work that has a spool of that metal strap stuff too<br /> <br /> Also i forget the exact name; it was some German Compound Word i think; go figure, but i saw an Automated Machine for this on some government surplus site a while back. Similarly complex to those Toroid Winders and Sewing Machines where wrapping with one&#039;s hands is easy, but a mechanism is complex due to the &quot;passing it&quot; part, BUT pretty common it seems<br /> <br /> Also note that as with Bungee Cords and whatnot, watch out for the band flying when you cut these open lol<br /> <br /> --[[User:Eric|Eric]] ([[User talk:Eric|talk]]) 00:38, 27 October 2025 (UTC)</div>
