When it comes to making sure that equipment functions properly at work, it is often the little things that make your job easier to do.

If for example, you work in an office with a lot of computer equipment that needs many cables, an essential tool you will very likely need is a cable tie gun, which dispenses nylon zip ties that bind the cables together for the sake of tidiness and organization. Cables can also be kept together through the use of rubber grommets, which are often used to feed computer cords through desks and tables. Albeit in an altogether different context, you may need to connect a cable to the appropriate piece of equipment using a cable gland.

Other tools are used because of their safety benefits. Threaded standoffs, for instance, keep electronic parts separated, eliminating the possibility of an electrical shortage. Cap nuts, which are sometimes called acorn nuts because of their easily identifiable shape, can keep tools and pieces of machinery from coming loose and can also keep threads from being exposed.

Regardless of your specific work environment, there are certain tools and parts which prove to be indispensable on the job site. From cable tie guns to cap nuts, you can find what you need from a trusted distributor of industrial materials.
