Cable Clips with Strong Self-Adhesive Pads - No Tools Required | Organize Cords and Wires for a Clean, Beautiful Home or Office | Set of 20 | White - by Titan Grip

I haven't written a review in a while, and this is much less of a review and much more of a how-to. I just put these up a few days ago, so I can't comment on the longevity. They do what they are supposed to do, but man, what a PITA it was to get the sticker backing off. Although, once I got the hang of it, I could hire myself out and make a quick business out of it.Step 1: Measure and lay out the clips in their approximate locations, regularly spaced clips will be less noticeable. I have two sizes of cable, one very thin leading to the antenna, and another extension cable that is the standard 18 AWG coax type cable. I found that the thin cable needed to be secured at shorter intervals and I pulled it tight by placing a clip right next to where they screw together.Step 2: If your cable is thicker (just fits inside the clip) place the clip on the cable at the proper location BEFORE removing the backing. Getting the cable installed after the clip on the wall can pull the clip away from the wall, or if you try to put the clip on the cable after peeling the backing off you are likely to touch the adhesive making it less effective.Step 3: Pull off an adhesive rectangle and apply it to a clip. I found (after a few clips) that if you bias the wide edge toward one side of the clip, and place that edge at the bottom, the black foam is less noticeable. Also, thanks to whoever said something about getting white clips. The clear ones would be useless and look like black rectangles on the wall.Step 4: Remove the backing....goood luck! Kidding...Step 4a: Holding the clip in your left hand (if you are right handed), "scratch" at the surface of the backing. It will begin to crumple/warp, see picture.. You have to scratch HARD, it will smoosh the foam a bit, but it didn't seem to affect the application for me.Step 4b: Continue until you can see the backing separating from the adhesive, see picture.Step 4c: Using your fingernail or tweezers pinch the loose piece and pull it away from the foam adhesive. At this point you should have a clip that is ready to apply to the wall!I hope this helps someone. I was surprised at how difficult it was to remove the backing when I first started, because all I could think when reading the reviews from the "idiots" that couldn't remove the backing was that they must be total "idiots" or 108 years old. Nope, handy little me struggled with the first one for at least 3 minutes while thinking, "whelp, I guess I am one of those old idiots". It really was huge pain and I can see how someone would chuck the whole package out of frustration. It's a damn sticker after all, how they heck could it be so difficult to use!!!???!!!

These are fine cable clips. I used them to run a power cable down the side of a window and an ethernet cable across the top of some baseboard moulding. They seem reasonably durable. As far as grip strength — it's 3M VHB, enough said. The downside to this is that removing the 3M backing from the pads was annoyingly difficult, which is not my usual experience with 3M VHB. When I'm on a ladder or wedged behind furniture, fiddling around with pliers and a razor to get the backing off is not my idea of a good time.The decision to put the two cable openings on opposite sides is a bit questionable. In both of my applications, I would rather they had been on the same side. As they are, when applying a unit in a corner, one of the two clip openings will be made inaccessible. If I want the cable to be impossible to remove, I'd rather make both openings inaccessible; otherwise, I'd rather make neither inaccessible. Or, when I mount one horizontally, I'd rather have both apertures facing upward. In addition, the opposite orientations make it more difficult to get a stiff ethernet cable in there. I can imagine situations in which the current configuration would be advantageous, but they seem rather unlikely.Finally, while the fancy plastic packaging certainly looks nice, I'd rather have saved fifty cents and gotten them in a plastic bag. I feel a bit like I'm paying extra for the manufacturer to convince me that this is a premium product. If they want to convince me of that, then they should deburr the sprues rather than neatly stacking the clips in a nice plastic box that I'm just going to recycle anyway.Overall, these are fine, but not perfect. If the clips opened onto the same side, I'd give these five stars.

Good but there are some things that could be better. The adhesive tabs that come with the pack have a backing that is cut exactly the same size as the adhesive strips. This makes it very difficult to remove the backing in order to lay the clips in place. I wasted a lot of time just getting them off. Also they don't provide any extra adhesive strips. So, if you make a mistake and need all of the clips you are out of luck. Even if they provided 3 or 4 more it would make a huge difference. I made two mistakes and almost didn't have enough to keep the cable down. On a side note the strips would not stick to the unfinished portion of a piece of furniture I was sticking them to. The furniture is made of particle board and I was trying to stick them to the part that didn't have a laminate covering it. Didn't work.Otherwise a good product. I used it to keep a flat extension chord in place over a 15 ft distance.

Nice package, adhesive is SUPER grippy, I won't mention the amount of cussing I did trying to get the little red tape off! So I looked up on the internet... Stab corner, pull up with a flat blade, maybe a push pin or something. You just need to get a little of that red tape free so you can grab it, after that it's smooth sailing. Kinda makes you feel dumb having wrestled with it at all...(see pics) As mentioned the clips don't really grip, your cable slides around once in it... which for me worked because I could adjust slack. I did white. I think clear would actually distract you more on any surface. Don't forget to push the clip hard on the adhesive and then once you get the red off push hard against the surface you want to stick to and make sure that surface is thoroughly clean! Summer's coming so we shall see how long these last.
