Yes, thats 75 feet =) It's a velco type thing that you cut to size. Not bad for $12. You can also find them at Fry's if you're near one. http://shop4.outpost.com/product/4288814?site=sr:SEARCH:MAIN_RSLT_PG I have a Rip-Tie RipWrap 1/2″ x 75′ roll.

At the AAPEX show, we hand them out right and left all day long, people seem to like 'em a lot. I've wrapped up a bunch of cables that come with the factory VW scan tool (way too long cables, way too many that are never used). These things are great for cables/hoses/cords/ ect. You can't purchase too many. A friend of mine who makes diag cables for VWs hands those things out at shows with his company name on them.

I have also found rolls of two-sided Velcro in different colors are exceptionally handy around the house. It has been some time so I can't rember where I got mine, but it is available on eBay and www.buyhookandloop.com/ and others. Look for " VELCRO ONE-WRAP®".

Between the A/V cables too hook it up to a TV, the power cord, the mouse, the docking and power cables for my phone, and a cord for my camera, I've got a bit of a tangle going on.

The 6" 50 pack costs about $4.99 (maybe it's $5.99) but it's a way better deal than the 5 pack for a buck and change. It comes with 25 Grey and 25 black Velcro ties, but I wish the split was more like 40 black to 10 grey, because I always have to run to get another pack to get more black ties.
