Both slide under the shingle edge without damaging the roof. The Tuff Tab has a thinner profile that stays hidden from the street.

Then add 10 to 15 percent extra for peaks, corners, and inside turns where you need additional support. A 200-bulb roofline job needs roughly 220 to 230 clips. Always carry extras on the truck.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuffClips vs Canny Systems clips. Which is better?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBoth are professional grade. TuffClips are built for speed. The Flex Clip slides over the bulb already in the socket. Canny clips offer more versatility across surface types. Many contractors stock both brands and pick based on the job.

The clip grabs the wire between sockets, not the bulb itself. Check the product specs for any clip-specific sizing notes, but you generally do not need separate clips for each bulb size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/christmaslightshq.com\/collections\/christmas-light-clips.oembed","provider":"ChristmasLightsHQ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
