Oh and lunar, the zip tie idea sounds great, I'm definitely going to use that. Any other tips you got for me?
Does anyone say the hog clips are better than the zip ties? What tool would i need and how much would it cost?
I have never tried using the zip ties. Never even thought of it actually. Sounds like it would work ok. Probably be easier for someone who isn't practiced at it because it can be a pain getting those rings in the first couple hundred that you do. If you do decide to go that route, I don't think the pliers are expensive. I actually had my set given to me by a co-worker.
He'd lost them and bought a new pair, then found the old ones while cleaning out his box one day and said I could have them if I wanted. You can find them at most parts stores and probably sears. I'm pretty sure NAPA sells them.
