I purchased a set of these cable ties. I find it extremely difficult to undo them. They do not slide off very easily. Is there a secret?

Try their Q Knot original. I think they made Q knot "pro" to be tighter for pro use or someone need it to be more securer for heavy duty use. Anyway, their q knot original is much easier to use and you will use it to tie everything.

You have to unscrew the screws to pull more of the cable through. Since the jump cord is made up of metal wire with a plastic cover, the screws might stick to the plastic when unscrewed. Just agitate the screw sets and they should move. Then you need to move the screw sets down the cable until you have reached your desired length. Then tighten the screws back down again. You might have to use a screw driver to loosen or tighten them.

No, there isn't a trick haha. Mine really snap shut pretty hard so it takes a little strength to get them open but I never had a problem. Good luck.

There are a lot of you tube videos for this. I looked it up. The know is really simple, but it can be confusing to tie even if you've done it before.

I had the same issue. You need to basically force them on there. I think the reason they're like this is so they don't easily slide off. I bought these tips nearly six months ago and they're still holding up pretty well..hope this helps.

I believe I used my channel locks to slide those holders off the end of the handles. It was tricky at first, but I recall getting the second off quite easily. It's night time now, but I'll look in my shed tomorrow and get back to you. I bought mine in August, so my memory is fuzzy. I have two pair of channel locks and may have used both. Play it safe, but don't cut through the orange handle grips! They are a "must" in helping you use these great loppers!

None are hard to come off. They actually sometimes come off by themselves. Just slides off.

I am STILL having trouble with it slipping off. I am going to try different methods of wrapping it. I am so sorry that I could not be of more help!

No, they are not. It might be they unscrew in some fashion but I have not seen a way to do so in my use of them. I have only focused on using them with the handles however, but I don't see a way to detach them just by glancing at them.

Not hard to remove but does not slip or come off. I don't know to the second part. Google it.

This was an issue for me as well. You have to twist then pull apart. It is quite hard at times.

I don't think there is a real issue with tangling. Remember that a large part of your cords tangling is based mostly on your body movement and the way you take them off and put them back on. Taking them off and putting them is when the tangling occurs so if you are mindful of that, tangling will be minimal.

If you are talking about the adapter ring, they can be difficult. They come off counterclockwise. You can try a plastic jar opener grip and try to grip evenly around the perimeter, otherwise you will just pinch it and make it more difficult to remove. Good Luck

They just need to be wiggled & pulled out! The Black one should come off easily. The red one requires a little effort because of the plastic cover interfering - gently tap the plastic cover out with a small wood hammer or something similar while pulling the cable out.

You should be able to just wiggle them off. I don't remember having any problems. Good luck.Diana

If you remove the end cap off the end you pull out to hook up, then slide out the full length cover. You now have the exposed, knots that tie the lines in place. I'd recommend not to untie, but push excess line through the knot and pull tight to hold in place. Do this again with any other lines that are too loose. Don't cut off excess as you may find these lines too tight in future, then you will have line to push back out, if needed. Good luck.

They take some "tugging" but they are able to be removed! The adhesive is strong. If you peel the label off it and try to reapply it, it doesn't stay put as well as it does with the original application!
