I would advise against using this for electrical work. See the internet for "wago vs twisting".

Chicken wire, crafting, etc. sure.

You're not twisting electrical wires together to make an electrical connection, it's just to keep a bundle of wires together.

The twisting is in fact part of the electrical connection. On a good wire nut connection the wire nut is just insulating the bundle and if it falls off the bundle is still secure.

Cable lacing keeps them together without any twisting.

You're comparing apples to oranges.

You need to twist or otherwise adhere wires together before soldering them, e.g. when using heat shrink solder sleeve, unless you've some other way to hold the wires in place.

There's places where you can substitute wago, but often not, e.g. when working with limited space, e.g. repairing a broken wire harness in a car, or similar.
