Metal Zip Ties Black 11.8 in 100pcs - Heavy Duty 304 Stainless

In this review we look at the Metal Zip Ties Black 11.8 in 100pcs, a pack of epoxy-coated 304 stainless steel cable ties aimed at automotive, farm and general outdoor use. The bottom line: these ties are for anyone who needs a durable, heat- and corrosion-resistant fastener that outperforms typical nylon ties, especially where high tensile strength and weather resistance matter. The reviewer found them well suited to exhaust wrap, fence repair and cable management where longevity and holding power are priorities.

Key Features

• Material: 304 stainless steel core with a black epoxy coating provides strong corrosion resistance for most outdoor and automotive uses.
• Size: At 11.8 in long and 0.18 in wide, these 300 mm ties are long enough for bundling thick hoses or multiple cables without excess slack.
• Tensile strength: Rated to about 220 lb (1000 N), they hold heavy loads and maintain clamping force for machinery and fence repairs.
• Temperature range: Usable from very low to high temperatures, they tolerate the heat near exhausts and engine compartments without melting.
• Easy cutting: No special tools required to fit; tighten with pliers and cut with diagonal pliers or tin snips for quick field work.
• Value pack: Supplied as 100 pieces, this pack covers multiple projects and replacements so you can stock up affordably.

Who It's For

These metal zip ties are aimed at vehicle owners, mechanics, farmers and contractors who need a robust, weatherproof binding solution for hoses, exhaust heat wrap, fence repair and outdoor cable runs. Their strength and epoxy coating make them a sensible choice where nylon ties fail from heat or UV exposure.

They are less appropriate for delicate indoor electronics where a softer, non-metallic tie is preferred, or for saltwater shipboard use where 316 stainless would be a better long-term choice. Users who need the absolute easiest threading may notice a learning curve compared with plastic ties.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High tensile strength gives confident holding power for heavy bundles and repairs.
• Epoxy-coated finish and 304 stainless core resist corrosion in common outdoor conditions.
• Long 11.8 in length suits multiple applications from exhaust wrap to fence fixes.
• Supplied in a 100-piece pack for good value and ongoing use.

Cons

• Some users find threading the metal ratchet slightly harder than nylon ties, particularly on small-diameter bundles.
• 304 stainless is not optimized for harsh marine saltwater environments compared with 316 stainless.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these safe near exhaust systems?
Yes, the 304 stainless core and epoxy coating tolerate high temperatures better than nylon ties, making them suitable for exhaust wrap and nearby components.

Can I cut them with regular pliers?
You can tighten with needle-nose pliers and cut with diagonal pliers or tin snips; no special tool is required for typical use.

Will they rust outdoors?
304 stainless with epoxy coating resists corrosion in most outdoor conditions, though 316 stainless is recommended for severe marine saltwater exposure.
