People have mentioned you get 50 of these for the price of 100 of a different brand and they are all rg-6 clips so why bother with this, right? Well turns out the philips clips have some advantages.
First, not all RG-6 is the same OD, like the quad foil shield rg-6 heavy duty. It turns out the Philips are more generously sized for larger rg-6 cables.
Also the plastic on the philips is a heavier grade (made with less regrind for those of you who know about injection molding) - all that means is it is less likely to crack
Finally the philips nail is a larger diameter and really grips into whatever you smack it on.
These quality issues make the 50 pack of better clips a good deal for me even when the 100 pack of the the thinner plastic/nail and smaller inside diameter product is also available. Both will do the job, but these won't come undone! Philips SWV2090W/27 Coaxial RG6 Nail-In Clips (50 Pack, White)
First off, these nail-in clips are wonderful; however, it's a shame that I didn't search further otherwise I would have gotten these instead (Cable-Clip White RG6 (100 pieces per bag)).
Pro(s):
- Pretty good quality (plastic and nails didn't break on any of them)
- Easy to use (nails came pre-installed with the plastic, just place and hammer away)
Con(s):
- Price
Recommendation(s)/Suggestion(s):
- If you're placing these outdoor, keep them out of the sun (long term exposure to the sun will cause the plastic to fade and turn brittle)
These really do the job at tucking coaxial cables nicely!
These Nail-In clips are a perfect for securing coax cable against a wall. What I was impressed with, was that the nails come pre-installed in the clips -- making it very easy to bang them into the wall. - Cat5 - Coax - 50 Ft - Cable Nails'
