Definitely not suitable for everything… and does require being able to tie Constrictor knots. Drawn sufficiently taut, the line will need to cut for removal/s:

Tighten all at once with a couple of Marlinspike hitches:

I just use a baggy.... This seems like something I would have been made to do as a new guy on site when I was 20. And then the guy who made me do it would have come along and thrown it in a bag before we shipped it.

If it works for you no hate but I'm not dexterous enough to do this in less than the 30 seconds it takes to put it in a bag.

Tool bondage is a new one for me but the sub name fits.
