Abstract: Method and apparatus for installing a cable tie about a bundle. The cable tie has a ratcheting head and a strap with a ratcheting pattern configured to engage the ratcheting head to encircle and secure a bundle. A finger engagement structure includes a ratcheting element configured to ratchetingly engage the cable tie, and a contact member configured to facilitate tightening of the cable tie and securement of the bundle to a substrate. The ratcheting element may comprise a second ratcheting head configured to engage the ratcheting pattern of the cable tie, and the contact member may comprise a selected one of a ring, a plate or a third ratcheting head. Alternatively, the ratcheting element may comprise a second strap having a second ratcheting pattern configured to engage a second ratcheting head of the cable tie, and the contact member may comprise a plate from which the second strap extends.
