Would safety wire pliers make it easier to do?

Re: [AFMUG] Tower Cable Attachment

[Nate Burke]

One of our tower owners (who owns many towers) feels that hangers add 
more wind load than they're worth.  He requires that all cables are 
attached directly to the tower leg with #14 AWG Black Solid wire holding 
it to the Leg every 12" and the ends of the #14 pushed back to the 
tower.  We are required to show pictures after any installation.  Check 
with the tower owner, they might have their own Specs for mounting cables.

Re: [AFMUG] Tower Cable Attachment

Our normal ties used to last forever, we got them at our local fastener
shop, but this last year the manufacturer must have changed resins or
something, theyre brittle out of the bag. we got in a bunch from perfect
vision, they seem pretty brittle. I dont know if the plastics industry has
had to make covid changes too.
We used electrical tape for years, I prefer it cause of the siphon effect
on some cable, but we used cheap ACE hardware tape...regrettable. I just
cant justify the cost of super 33 or 88 for techs to lose by the role

I have been using T&B UV resistant Ty-Raps for attaching to towers, but have 
noticed them getting a bit brittle in some locations. What are you guys using 
for this purpose?  I have considered going with some Sitepro1 cushions / 
hangers:
