    I dig your style of video. Short, sweet, and right to the point with a bit of extra info. No filler material that stretches the video out to 10 minutes for no reason. I def already knew how to use these in particular , but when I first found your channel a while back I was pleasantly surprised with some new info. Thought I’d subbed back then but I guess not, oh well. Just subbed. Looking forward to seeing more from you 🤙

    That's the way I used to do it. It used to bug me for some reason with those things tied onto a cable. But over the years either losing them or spending hours trying to find the dang things this is now how I do it and really like it now.

    When I worked in AV we did both ways. Smaller cables that weren't seen by the client had them installed, while any cables visible by the client we would tuck and wrap so they could be removed on site. The trick is just sliding them off once set to the size. So much faster when you're laying out hundreds of feet of cable that need to be picked back up 8hrs later.

    I don’t know why but it hurts my soul for cables to be bent like that. I always use circular loops/coils. Over time the cable has less bend memory and generally stays straighter when releasing it for use.

    Fun fact: Velcro comes from a pair of French words that roughly translate to loop and hook - velure and accrocher.

    There's no wrong way. Just depends on the application. First way is more convenient if you plan on reusing the same strap over and over, vs a more permanent installation.

    I've done it the wrong way for real short term usage. Otherwise, like a lot of other things, temporary things take on a sense of permanence, firmly attached to one end and then watch some folk struggle to operate it.

    I would partly disagree. For some applications, yes, but for others where synching up tight is important, your "wrong" way is much better. Using the buckle really aids in getting a tight wrap.
