[SML] Zip Tie Ends

[Don Taco]

A) No clippers gets fully flush, so you're risking a scrape or a cut. 
B) You're guaranteeing a scrape or a cut. 
C) You're guaranteeing a deep scrape or cut. 
D) Leaving it long and taping the tail out of the way is probably the safest and also the most hassle.

Hi all, 

Longtime lurker here with a question. 

Once you've secured the zip tie around the bundle, what style do you use in cutting off the excess? 

A) Flush to the ratchet mechanism? 
B) 1/4" (or so) away from the mechanism? 
C) As B, but with a 45 degree angle? 
D) Other 

And: 
Is there a specific reason you do it that way? 


I usually do A myself because I've gotten many scratches/cuts from B & C. I've encountered a lot of category C lately and I am glad the first aid kit is stocked. 

Just curious as to what people do. 

Thanks, 
Tim
