Zusammenfassung:	A metal cable tie (22) is disclosed. The cable tie (22) includes an elongate metallic strap (28), a metallic locking head (24), and metallic roller means (32). The strap (28) has a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The head (24) is secured to the first end of the strap (28) for receiving the second end of the strap (28). The head (24) comprises a strap entry face (44), a strap exit face (46), and a strap-receiving aperture (48) extending therebetween. The head (24) further comprises a floor (50) and a roof (36) which diverge in the direction of the exit face (46). The metallic roller means (32) lockingly engages the strap (28), and the head (24) comprises retention means (52) disposed adjacent the exit face (46) for captively holding the roller means (32) within the head (24). The roller means (32) is movable between a threading position wherein the roller means (32) is disposed adjacent the exit face (46) and the retention means (52), and a locking position wherein the roller means (32) is closer the entry face (44). The ratio of the distance from a point along a ceiling to the centre of the roller means (32) in the threading position to the diameter of the roller means (32) is less than 1.7.
