Question: Has anyone used the plastic NM straps by GB that are sold in the bid box stores? I've seen them out a few years but haven't used any. I thought about them from the recent thread about NM staple guns. The thin nail looks easier to drive than a standard NM staple, in hard wood.
I have used the plastic NM straps by GB and I have found them to be a good alternative to traditional NM staples. The thin nail is easier to drive than a standard NM staple, especially in hard wood. I have also found that the plastic straps hold the NM cable more securely than staples.One thing to note is that the plastic straps are not as easy to remove as staples. If you need to remove the NM cable, you will need to cut the straps.Overall, I have been happy with the plastic NM straps by GB. I find them to be a good alternative to traditional NM staples.
