Great content Joe and eFIXX 🦾

Brilliant thanks,but it takes out all the fun, ,😮

This video, with a spoken commentary explaining what is going on, is far better than the commentary-free ASMR-style vids eFixxx normally put out! The trunk clips seem like a great idea, even with drilling holes with a battery drill, not the old style electric drill and 110 extension lead on temporary building site power.

Work well with tray in my experience, havent used with trunking

Have used the try one's on a few jobs and every time they just ping off and end up going back to the old way

Fantastic idea . But drill holes in the trunking should be a breeze if you use good quality sharp drill bits. After all you’re drilling through fin metal sheet not a solid block of metal. Also cable tray is already perforated so securing it is the struts shouldn’t cause any problems at all .

Well it’s not going to grow legs and run away is it?

Should have ended the video with a Zebedee "boing!"

For tray yes, for trunking looks horrendous

8mm hole for 6mm roofing bolt! 😮

I have a few concerns straight away - 1-I understand a weight test has been carried out and we see the kilogram loading it can handle if installed upside down but the real world does not play a straight hand, what if something fell on the trunking, a forklift nudge it or an installer put too much pressure on it, with standard strut and spring zebs assembly we do see a good resistance to such scenarios with even major warping of the trunking long before it crashes down, with these clips I foresee spring failure and the subsequent weight carrying on the next clip creating a domino effect and bring the lot down. 2 -Have the clips when secured in place been subjected and tested to expected fault currents given it could be a return path for a fault? 3 -Do the clip continue to provide good support in the event of a fire, given the metal may be heat treated to provide that desired sprung shape will this be lost when subject to high temperatures again an issue if trunking is hanging? Just seeing that Kg hanging capacity I would almost certainly not recommend this type of clip for supporting long lengths for the very reason pointed out in no1 and possibly no3. Manufacturers feedback would be welcome if you are in contact with them.

Bananaman?

No way are all those clips fitted correctly. Some of them have not been fully hooked over the trunking. I'm not saying they are going to spring off, but they are not consistent. Perhaps some of them have been bent?

Dumb drilling 8mm for a 6mm.bolt. and wise up at the length of that bolt. Hard to say whether this really fixes or improves anything though, but not a bad idea.
