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:
- LaceLok is a new tool from DMC Tools that combines elements of zip ties and traditional lacing for securing wire bundles in aviation.
- It features a trigger tool that tightens and snips prefabricated lacing bundles, utilizing a low-profile buckle to maintain clamping force.
- The system uses waxed lace, which is gentler on wire insulation compared to plastic zip ties, preventing eventual wear and damage.
