Grip Clip Asphalt Shingle Roof Clips for Installing Heat Tape, Prevent Ice Dam Damage to Roof and Gutters, Simple Nail Free Cable Clips (25 Pack) (Black)

Robuste et facile à installer

It took me a few tries to really find my groove installing these (protip: if you can't push it fully into place with a little exertion, simply scoot it a few inches in either direction and try again - sometimes it's just the way the shingles have been laid that makes it hard to install) but once you get it down, it feels like cheating. It shouldn't be THIS easy. Are they expensive? yes. are they WAY cheaper than hiring a professional? Also yes. All in all it took me 30 minutes to get about 200 feet of heat cord installed all over my roof with ZERO extra tools. That's insane. I'm not a handyman, i'm just someone that didn't want to pay $1000 bucks plus materials for someone else to do it. So get these, don't mess around with the cheaper options, your life is too short as it is.

I am not arguing that these are a high quality clip, but I think the lack of stand alone cable clips without buying the cables as well, has driven the price of these products way out of acceptable price range. They are too expensive but high quality. More competition and availability of these seemingly simple products will hopefully bring the price down from outter space

They were delivered ahead of schedule and neatly packed . All 3 boxes were in excellent condition as was the product. The clips were easy to use ( even in this cold weather ) although I had to pry open a bit , but that's o.k. . The grab and hold strength is fantastic . I had to move two of them and it was easy and didn't destroy my new shingles. Bear in mind I'm doing this in Pa. In December. I called the manufacturer for the needed amount and they were spot on. The value outweighs the cost , don't look elsewhere. These are ( in my opinion) forever clips that will stay put until another roof is needed ( 30 years from now ). Thanks for a great product !

I installed these to support heavy-duty heating cable where we get high snow and wind loading and ice dams. I'm impressed with their holding power now that I've figured out how to install them. They're expensive, yes, but I can see there's a good deal of manufacturing process in making them, and they're made and packaged well. Having surveyed the Amazon market, I don't see anything that looks better...or even satisfactory.My 50-year-rated composition roofing is very thick and stiff, even when warmed with a hair dryer, and the bonding adhesive is very tenacious. There is no such thing as just pushing these clips into place by hand.But there is a reliable way to install them: I've found long-nose pliers to work well at adjusting the openings to go over either the single or double layer of shingle I may encounter where I need to install a particular clip. Then I need to hammer a putty knife through the adhesive to create a wide enough passage for the flat bottom member of the clip to pass through, being careful to drive the knife through the adhesive and not between laminations of the shingling itself. After starting the clip by hand, it still has to be driven into place with a hammer and push stick, alternating between sides of the clip. (This might be easier if one takes time to make a forked push stick.) Then I hammer the top members down, just in case I had opened them a bit too far. This all takes time and patience but will hold heavy cable against heavy snow and wind load. And...it's far better than driving nails through perfectly good roofing.
