Pros & Cons
Pros
After familiarizing myself with this superun zip tie tool, i really like the way that it functions. It takes a little finesse. It works, but there are potential issues. Hubby really likes this product.
All metal and relatively lightweight (less than a pair of large pliers), this tool feels good in the hand and robust enough for its intended purpose. Craftsmanship leaves a bit to be desired (hence the four-star rating instead of five), however, the t... Read More
It makes tightening and trimming the tails off zip ties incredibly easy and efficient.
The cutter is on the ratchet side of the cable tie. Once tight, you squeeze the small handle and that slides the guillotine blade.
The cutter’s blade is easily removable which means it can be sharpened when it eventually gets dull. The cutting blade can be removed for future sharpening/stripping to retain its edge. It trims very close for a neat finish.
Cons
The quality/durability of the storage box is very low. I do not expect the latches to last very long through repetitive uses. The cost for the lack of quality is probably $10 higher than it should be.

Price
The build, paint, engineering, and all are very nice, the tool is really worth the price.
Packaging/appearance
Absolutely does the job intended and i recommend this, any day, over hand-tightening (or trying to hold the synch part of the z... Read More
As you can see, the packaging was less than desirable it the tool certainly impressed me.

These are pretty basic zip tie tensioners

As with most ziptie tools you can easily break the zip tie if overtightened much easier than you could by hand

I’ve cut myself numerous times on cable ties left with sharp protrusions

You can choose your cut off point however to anywhere along the length of the closed tie

I suspect in severe situations this would damage the tie so for those of us that reuse ties that would be something to keep in mind

The way this gun interacts with the tie might cause problems in certain situations where a long nose on the gun could be handy

This is a very minor point though
