Twin and earth clips that don't clip

[AA410]

Hi there ideas or alternatives to twin and earth clips that don't clip please

If you mean the cable pops out of the clip once it's hit back, chances are you are using crappy clips. The best ones I have found are Thorsman. They have the curled return to the clip that holds the cable nicely. Thorsman have now been absorbed by Schneider so look for the green and white packaging, but not the boxes the trade tubs. I find that Schneider clips in boxes are Tower brand while the Schneider trade tubs are Thorsman brand. Tower are the crappy ones that don't hold the cable properly.
All this depends on whether or not this is what your original question is about.

tower are not too bad, i think it varies on the cable brand you use, different cable has different sized insulation

Don't bother with clips just nail through the cable

A bit like a PME supply with an 'earth' stake every 300 mm! ;-)

Sticky pads and cable ties? Silicone? Nomore nails?
