Avionics guru Larry Anglisano was at the Aircraft Electronics Association show last week and caught up with DMC Tools for a demo of the LaceLok. It’s a combination of zip ties and conventional lacing methods in a prefabricated form. A trigger tool tightens and then snips the ends of special lacing bundles that use a low-profile buckle to maintain the clamping force. Waxed lace, used for years in aviation, is easier on wire bundles than plastic zip ties, which can eventually wear through the insulation.

Key Takeaways:
- The LaceLok is a new tool demonstrated by DMC Tools, combining traditional lacing methods with zip-tie-like application.
- It uses a trigger tool to tighten and snip special lacing bundles, secured by a low-profile buckle.
- LaceLok utilizes waxed lace, which is gentler on wire bundles than plastic zip ties and helps prevent insulation wear.
