Getting Deep
Sure is getting deep in this thread, pardon me while I go for boots and shovel.
I love stackers when I make multiple runs together; they save a lot of time. If I'd had any sense, I would have invented them in 1976. I remember crawling under houses and stapling cables, wishing for a better way. I thought of that very item, the concept anyway. I should have made prototypes with scrap materials and presented to come companies. Instead, I spent most of my spare time on barstools. I left electrical work (forgive me please) a few years, came back doing commercial. Started work with a friend in '03 and was handed a bag of stackers. Was I sick, I could have been on easy street.
Sometimes a few staples are still needed, as mentioned. Cables may want to sag and need a hand. Mostly, stackers are a good thing with me.
I had an inspector turn down a tie wrap if you can believe it, a project at my own house. Had the tight space between studs someone mentioned. I got a nail in at a sharp angle and tie wrapped to it. I thought about challenging but it wasn't worth a fight.
