VELCRO Brand Cable Ties, 100Pk - 8 x 1/2" Red and Black, Reusable Alternative to Zip Ties, ONE-WRAP Thin Pre-Cut Cord Organization Straps, Wire Management for Office or Home, VEL-30200-AMS, Black/Red

Over the years, I have accumulated too many cables to count. With each new gadget, I get a new cable. I have multiple chargers, adapters, plugs, and cables of various types, lengths, and brands. I use most of them interchangeably, but I can't seem to throw any of them out, even though I may have seven different micro USB cables and five different mini USB cables. Some work with specific electronics, and some don't. I'm constantly trying them all out, since most aren't marked by brand. Up until recently, I've tried to coil them up the best I could and just cram them all into my "extras" drawer or in a container. When I need one, I have to go in there and pull out this bird's nest of cords and start untangling. Then I do it all over again. I've tried holding them together with rubberbands and tape, with varying degrees of success. While browsing through Amazon, I found this product. It was cheap, and came with a lot of ties, so I gave it a shot. I am extremely glad I did. The package includes eight coils of velcro straps. The strips are perforated at the ends, so it's easy to tear off the end tie while keeping the rest in the coil until you're ready to use the next one. Each tie has a little cut out hole at one end so you can loop it around the cable you want to tie up for safekeeping. That way, when you undo the strap and use the cable, the velcro tie stays on the cable and you don't lose it. The velcro type is passive; it's smoother than, say, the velcro you'd find on clothes. That comes in pretty handy as it doesn't attract as much dust or lint, but still provides more than enough hold to keep the cable wrapped up firmly. When I received this product, I immediately went to work securing all the cables that were floating around in my drawer. Everything is so neat and tidy in there now it's remarkable. It's so much easier to pick out which cable I need and pull that one out, instead of pulling out the whole load and untangling what I need. It also freed up a lot of space in that drawer. It makes taking cables on trips a lot more headache free as well, since everything is packed up nice and neat and won't get loose in my purse or luggage. It makes identifying the right cables a lot easier and organizing a lot faster and efficient. I also use it to tidy up the snakepit of cords I have running behind my entertainment center. And since this package contains 100 ties, I have more than enough left over. This product is perfect for my needs and should be on the shopping list of everyone who owns an abundance of electronics and cables.

I purchased this product to help me organize a huge mass of cords and cables. They work like a charm and have allowed me to restore order to my previously chaotic desktop and electronics drawer. The color is a deep black. The Velcro is strong, with good adhesion. The size is perfect for use with all sorts of cords or cables. The length can be adjusted as needed. They were a great price considering how high quality they are and how many come with each order.

These things are awesome. Used for electric cords, speaker wires anything. They are strong and hold great

Compared to the same brand (VELCRO Brand ONE-WRAP Cable Ties) of cable ties, I wasn't expecting these to be so different. The yellow is from a multipack of 6 different colors which was great for cable management. I decided to grab a bulk pack of plain black for the myriad of cables I have around the house that don't need to be so diligently color-coded. These black ones are significantly thinner and feel less "fluffy" on the non-Velcro side than the colored ones do. They also rip a little easier — I have managed to accidentally rip apart the loop hole on the colored ones once, from being a bit over-zealous while ripping one of the cable ties off the roll, but I have managed to do so no less than three times with these, and that is with being careful due to my past mistake. The actual "tie" part is sturdy, but the loop unfortunately is really just too thin with these IMO. Maybe I have freak strength and am Hulking my way through cable tie loops, though.Of course, they still adhere great and are still Velcro, so they don't come apart on their own and they are perfect for tying up cords and cables. I use them to tidy up my cable bin and for cable managing my TV, which has only one input and one (audio) output. No need for color-coding for those!These are cheaper than the colored ones, but the exact same length. The colored ones were $12.89 for a 60 pack when I bought them three years ago, so that averages out to $0.21 per cable tie. These are $0.09 per cable tie, a little over twice as cheap, so it makes sense why these are thinner and feel, well, cheaper.For cables that don't need to be color-coded but still need to be tidied and for cables that aren't going to be frequently tied/untied, these seem perfect. Heck, maybe you just don't need/want color-coding. Maybe you'd rather have something that is cheaper and feels more disposable. Maybe you go through cable ties like nobody's business. These are hard to beat at this price if so. But, I do prefer the quality of the slightly more expensive ones and after having managed most of my home with them, it's so hard to recommend these over the colored pack.4/5 for working as intended but -1 for cheap construction.
