It looked to me like just the tab is metal. Like the flex cuffs that the
cops use.

I use wire too and it lasts foreever but is harder on the cable good
tape lasts too known by experience 5+ years on tower no issues. Cell
tower guys use the good stuff too theirs don't fall off either

This removes the sharp edge completely IME. I very rarely do this, though.

I too disagree on the electrical tape. An old installer taught me
that 9" - 12" lengths of insulated solid #8 wire makes great bundle
ties. Before the climb, he cuts a bunch of them to length, stuffs
them in his pouch. On the way back down, every five feet or so he
will take the wire around
I disagree on the electrical tape. Every climb where I see electrical tape
the stuff is remarkably frail. A stiff breeze would peel it right off.
Maybe 3M is way better then whatever I saw.
The tower climber I have to use for a couple towers lead me to these and I
love them:

Similar but instead of Zip ties use good electrical tape (3m)
Put enough wraps (6-10) and it will last probably longer than tie wrap
and it puts more even pressure on all cable types than tie wraps
Bonus is no rough edges, have one size fits all roll, able to remove
without tools etc

I just thought I'd share what we do for our tower installs, and find out
what/if anything other people are doing.
RF Prep
1. Use Radio Mobile to determine what we will need for antennas,
radios, etc.
Basic Tower Side/Mounting/Cables
1. Use a 18"-24" standoff mount, or sometime
