Why 10,000+ People Use IronCinch.
Plastic ties go chalky in the sun and snap. Twisted wire rusts and slices your fingers. A worm-gear clamp seizes and rounds off the moment you need it back off. IronCinch cinches a 304 stainless band tighter than your hands can and shears the tail flush so there is nothing left to catch a glove.

Wrapped my exhaust and used these instead of the worm clamps that always seize on me. They've been through a full winter of road salt and they came off clean when I actually needed them off.
It is not a flimsy tool. It is heavy in the hand and the jaws bite properly. I've put maybe four hundred ties through it and it still cuts as clean as the day it turned up.
Bought it for the chicken run after the plastic ties went brittle and something got in overnight. Redid every panel with the steel ones. Nothing has got in since.

FAQs
Will it work with ties I already have?
Will it work with ties I already have?
Most likely. The jaws take any flat stainless band up to 13 mm wide and 1.2 mm thick, which covers essentially every 304 stainless cable tie sold in the US, whatever the length. Owners also report it grips the larger heavy-duty nylon ties fine, so it does double duty. Two hundred stainless ties come in the kit to start you off.
Are steel ties really that much stronger?
Are steel ties really that much stronger?
A standard nylon zip tie holds roughly 50 lb and starts going brittle after a season of direct sun. The 304 stainless ties in this kit hold around 200 lb and are unaffected by UV, road salt, engine heat or a hard freeze — which is why they are the standard fastener on exhaust wrap, marine cable runs and industrial fence line. The trade-off is honest: they cost more per tie, and you want the gun to fit them properly.
How tight does it go — and will it cut me?
How tight does it go — and will it cut me?
As tight as you set it. The tension dial on the body controls how much pull the gun puts on the band before the cutter trips, so you can go drum-tight on a fence post and back it off for something you don't want to crush. On the cutting: the whole point of the tool is that it shears the tail flush with the locking head, so the finished tie has no burr sticking out. Wear the gloves while you are handling loose ties — raw stainless stock has sharp edges before it is trimmed.
What can I actually use this on?
What can I actually use this on?
Chain-link fence and wire mesh, chicken coops and animal runs, exhaust wrap and engine-bay hoses, CV and steering boots, hydraulic lines, marine cable and dock lines, greenhouse and trellis frames, sign and conduit mounting. Anywhere a plastic tie is going to see sun, heat, salt or vibration is where these earn their money.
Does it need charging or batteries?
Does it need charging or batteries?
No. No motor, no cord, no battery, no compressor. It is a purely mechanical hand tool — the leverage comes from the handle, which is exactly why it works the same on day one and in year five, and why there is nothing on it to go flat halfway down a fence line.
What if it doesn't work for me?
What if it doesn't work for me?
No risk. You're covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee. Put it on a real job, and if it doesn't out-pull every pair of pliers in your box, send it back for a full refund — and keep the Fence-Repair Guide. No questions, no hassle.
Can I undo a tie once it's locked?
Can I undo a tie once it's locked?
Yes — that is what the release tool in the kit is for, and it is the part owners end up using most. Slide the pick under the locking pawl and the band backs out, so you can reposition or reuse the tie instead of cutting it off and binning it. Without it, a self-locking steel tie is one-way and you would be reaching for the snips. Worth knowing before you place the first one: seat the tail fully in the gun's nose before you squeeze, or it can slip.
