Nice vid & idea! I'v got a mate 3D printing me one of these. Something I do when using these, is I use velcro strips & not cable ties etc. Once I'v done 1 "round" with the comb, I put 5-10 velcro strips on, not tight, but snug, and then as I do more "rounds" with the comb, I just pull the velcro strips down. This keeps the cable much nearer & uniform.
Combing and dressing is the professional way for run cables and a comb really helps. This is a great cheap solution which I bet lasts longer than the pvc versions. Only tip is to place a grove around the circumference to hold the cable tie or Velcro in place while dressing.
Nice economical way to dress cables. Having spent a mint on plastic cable combs, I find this a great and effective alternative.BTW I didn't mind the profanity at all. Personally, haven't met an installer that would. lol
When I hear "cable combs," I think of the ones used within my PC build. ... I came across this video while trying to figure out how to make custom cable combs for my PC. I... don't think this will work in my PC. Lol
What do you dress your cables in? suspenders sexy frilly underwear Just use some cable ties one in the centre and whatever you need on the outside and they can stay in place no need to type
How long did it take you from start to finish? Now calculate your billing rate for the total time (and any tools and materials) spent making the tool. THAT'S how much it really cost.
Well the tools I didn't buy specially for this. They are the tools that I use in my job every day, i would have them irrispective of making a cable comb. so no need to account that exspence. The peice of MDF was out of the scrap bin, so free. So really if your accounting 15 minutes of my own time in an evening on something that I can reuse over and over on many jobs, the cost is negligible. If you take into account the electricity to cut out the MDF then pennies, literally a few pence!

Beautiful work. I guess this can easily be scaled down for hobby electronics. My wiring is a mess, so can't wait to try her out!

Thank you for the great tip. Hope this video get blown up.
like your style!
Why did you not drill holes is tbe center as well, it would have combed tbe cables much better.
Clicked because I thought it said cable bomb, stayed for the great tip. Awesome vid dude
thank you, glad you enjoyed the video, when i work out what a cable bomb is i will do a video on it, because it sounds great.
thanks for your comment.

Nice! I like the tool. Agree with your arguments against a $60USD tool.

Frank, when you demonstrated the cimb, I noticed a zip tie tail, what is this?
+Will Novak He used it to hold the cables from popping out while pulling. You can also use a velcro strap like the Panduit version uses
Thanks for the sharing
it's a great tip
That' s really cool !
Years down the line, still selling it at rip off prices, at least it's down to £10... What an utter joke.
Great!
Thanks.
5:51 nope, dust not gone... dust everywhere else in the shop... but thanks for the tip on the cable tool !

Was a good video until the profanity started going.
