Cinnamon Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I hate,loath & detest the run clips. They hurt my fingers & snap my nails...please someone tell me that there is a good alternative out there??? Bearing in mind that the run does need to move often.

Lewis Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Cable ties Just cut them off and use new ones. You can get velcro ties (we use them in theatre for wrapping up cables) but not sure if they'd be as fox proof? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Cable ties here too. Cheap as chips and don't break your nails. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted November 12, 2010 Author Share Posted November 12, 2010 Perfect.......Hubby must have about a million of those knocking about.....industrial strength builders ones at that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dizzy-Deb Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Another hater of the clips here... both hubby and I ended up with chewed fingers and nails putting the Go together... horrible horrible things. Wish had thought of cable ties. Will remember for future now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach chick Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 oh god yes, those clips really HURT!!! I took 3 eglu runs apart last weekend, and my hands are still sore now. cable ties everytime for me now, when you want to dismantle just attack with the scissors. and much easier for putting them together again as you can leave the cable tie loose til you are happy with the positioning.

Redwing Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I ue a 50p piece to undo the clips, insert it and twist, works very well and no broken nails But I do agree that cable ties are probably better Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
