Memories of sore fingers and thumbs using metal buckle clips. Surely some enterprising soul will create a one nail clip similar to current plastic ones but which doesn't melt in a fire. (Except of course most metals do melt at some point)

I've always wondered if a bit of metal could be embedded in the current design of plastic clip. I'd forgotten about the sore fingers.

It would be very easy to make a retrofit u-sleeve that fitted over the
top of a standard plastic clip and which the same nail held in place.
Plastic protects cable from sharpish metal edge. Old clips can be used
up. New clips can be sold with metal in place.
