Depending on the tool used, one end of the tie will twist off allowing the drill and tool to come right off the tie or a rotation of the drill and a pull is required to release the tie. See Video.

Description
Application: Used for attaching top or bottom tension wire to chain link fabric.
We offer two different styles:
- Easy Twist Tension Wire Tie: Used for most Commercial and Industrial applications in place of hog rings on projects requiring a more secure way of attaching the tension wire to the fence. The twisted tail can slide down and out of the way, lying parallel to the fabric reducing the risk of injury to passing personnel.
- Twist Tight Tension Wire Tie: Used for Correctional Facilities in place of hog rings on projects requiring a tighter bond between tension wire and fabric. No vibration. Tension wire ties. They are twisted opposite the fabric side and protrude out away from inmates so they can tamper with the twisted ends. Also is typically used when Twist Tight Ties are required for tying the fabric to the post and rails. Ties will not come off unless they are cut off.
