I have searched and can't find anything that does this.

There are loads of "cable tie guns" which simply tighten the tie and
cut the end off, but that's the easy bit to do manually!

I have a job comong up which will involve threading lots of cable ties
through wire netting and round and back, then poking the end of the
tie through the hole and then (the easy bit that the gun does) pulling
tight and (probably not) cutting the end off.

So is there anything out there which will make the first two stages
easier:-

1 - Poking the pie out and back through some netting. It's sort of
generic when using a tie, you nead to thread it *round* something
and the tie wants to be straight.

2 - Having got it round and back, poke the end through the hole
(as the actress said to the bishop).


I can imagine some sort of tool that you could insert a tie into which
would have a curved channel that you put round whatever it is you want
the tie round. Push a lever (or something) and the tie is fed round
the track and back to you. For the tool to do part 2 as well is more
difficult but even doing part 1 would make using cable ties a whole
lot easier.

er.. Consider galvanised *hog ring clips* designed for the job?


Good for clipping to a wire fence, a quarter of the time to do it, but not
to
a trellis or poles.

I was trying to describe a wire-to-wire requirement so they're good
for me.

They are incredibly quick to fix compared with cable ties - 10X quicker easily
- and especially neat if both fences are galvanised. Still better looking
than cable ties if the netting is plastic. Just make sure you get galvanised
clips. Just an example, better quality is available:
