Cable Ties Don’t Have To Be Forever

Thursday, May 8th, 2008

Cable ties belong in the esteemed category of tools that includes gaffer’s tape, super glue, and locking pliers — they’re almost infinitely useful, and if you’ve got some, you’re halfway to fixing nearly anything. However, if you’ve ever spent time bundling up a bunch of cables just right, only to have to snip apart all your hard work when you notice what you did wrong, you owe yourself a big bag of releasable cable ties.

Reader Find: The Ty-Rap Tote

Friday, January 12th, 2007

Phillip writes: “Any time you visit a jobsite where cabling is happening, you always see loose ties on the ground. The Ty-Rap Tote from Thomas & Betts is a handy cable tie dispenser that allows you remove a single tie without several coming along with it. Also, they’re held securely while climbing up and down on ladders, bending over, or crawling around equipment. There are three sizes to choose from.”
