Choose cable ties based on length, bundle diameter, width, and tensile strength. They come in many different sizes, but the
MS3367-1-0 (which is black) and the
MS3367-1-9 (which is off-white) are especially versatile. With a length of 7.5 inches and a width of 0.187 inches, you can use these ties for bundles ranging in diameter from 1/16 of an inch to 1 3/4 inches.
Cable Ties in the Workplace
Cable ties are widely used in offices because they are so handy for keeping cables and cords organized. Buy a pack of 100 MS3367-1-9 ties, and everybody in the office can get the spaghetti-like mess of cables around their desk under control in no time.
Cable Ties and Outdoor Activities
You can use cable ties to "lock" your tent when you're camping. While they won't keep out thieves, they do keep snakes, raccoons, and other critters out while you're hiking or fishing. And if the zipper pull comes off your jacket, you can thread a cable tie through the place where the pull used to be and you're set. If you are an avid bicyclist, use cable ties to secure wheels to the bike frame when you're carrying your bike to keep wheels in line with the rest of the frame.
Cable Ties in the Garden and Workshop
If you're creating something with wood panels that need to be held steady during epoxy curing, cable ties are perfect for this task. And in the garden, attaching tomato plants to stakes is super easy with cable ties. You can even get UV-stable ties that won't deteriorate in the summer sun.
Cable Ties in the Home
During the holidays, cable ties can be used for hanging ornaments and holding outdoor Christmas lights in place. If you need to temporarily baby-proof your house, you can use cable ties to secure cabinets containing cleaning supplies or other hazards. You can use them to keep your set of good napkin rings together so you never have to search when it's time to use them. Cable ties make a super all-purpose solution to many household, outdoor, and work needs.
