These plastic scrapers may not look special but they are
surprisingly one of BAC's most frequently ordered items.
Customers can use them in many facets to remove tape,
LaceLok Cable Lacing Fasteners
DANIELS MANUFACTURING CORP. (DMC)
LaceLok is now qualified to MIL-DTL-32554 and MILDTL-32555.
This technology is a direct replacement for
lacing tape/string ties and cable ties for secondary support
of wire harnesses. Hand-tied lace and plastic cable
ties have been the primary options for wire harness
secondary support for over 50 years. Unfortunately,
both methods present significant ergonomic, safety,
and consistency risks. Hand-tied lace often causes
fatigue and repetitive motion injuries. It is also often
applied inconsistently as the applied tension can vary
from operator to operator or across the duration of an
operator's shift. Alternatively, cable ties offer a large
profile that can damage adjacent cables and sharp
edges after the excess cable tie is cut off. Plastic cable
ties are also often less resistant to temperature range
and various common chemicals. For these and other
reasons, the US military has approved LaceLok, but
prohibited the use of plastic cable ties on aerospace
wire harnesses per the Joint Services Manual NAVAIR
01-1A-505-1. LaceLok combines the ease of cable ties
with the abrasion and chemical resistance of lacing
tape. The LaceLok system consists of LaceLok and the
LaceLok Installation Tool. LaceLok is constructed with
the same Nomex lacing tape used in hand-tied lace.
The Nomex lace is attached by aramid fiber thread
to an ultra-high temperature thermoplastic fastener
head. LaceLok is offered in a variety of lengths from 6 "
to 24 " long and can be wrapped once, twice, or three
times around wire bundles to provide tensile strengths
of 55 lbs. to 165 lbs. To use LaceLok, the user wraps
LaceLok around the bundle and squeezes the trigger
two to three times to tighten, lock and terminate the
fastener. The resulting loop force is controlled by the
fastener, not the user.

sealant, paint, etc. They are a cheaper alternative to other
sealant scrapers. They are strong and easy to resharpen,
but delicate enough to lessen the risk of scratching glass
or painted surfaces.
