Description
This is a pack of 100 reusable cable ties, each 15cm long, made from hook and loop fabric that grips onto itself, with an eye hole in the tail so a tie can stay attached to the cable or hang from a hook - $29.99 for the pack. Unlike plastic zip ties, you undo these and use them again.
Anyone who has cut a zip tie off a cable knows the annoyance: you needed to add one more cable, so a perfectly good tie became rubbish and you needed the snips to get it off. Fabric ties open and close by hand as many times as you like, which changes how you use them - you stop rationing them and start tidying properly. The eye hole is the detail that makes them better than a plain strip of hook and loop tape: thread the tail through and the tie stays permanently attached to that cable, so it is never missing when you next coil it.

Why Choose Reusable Cable Ties
-
No cutting, ever - adding or removing a cable takes a second and does not consume the tie.
-
Eye hole in the tail - loop the tie onto the cable and it stays with that cable permanently.
-
Link them for length - two or three joined together handle a thick bundle, a hose or a folded tripod.
-
Fabric will not score cables - a soft strap does not bite into insulation the way an overtightened plastic tie does.
-
100 in a pack - enough to do the whole house rather than one desk.
Are Reusable Ties Better Than Plastic Zip Ties?
For anything you will ever need to open again, yes. Plastic zip ties are cheap, permanent and very strong, which makes them right for a bundle that will never change - a loom inside a machine, a fence, a cable run in a wall. Fabric ties are right for everything else: desk cables, extension leads, chargers, audio and video leads, camera gear, anything you coil and uncoil. They also do not cut into soft cable jackets, which matters on expensive leads. Most people should own both and use them for different jobs.
What Can You Use Them For Besides Cables?
Far more than the name suggests. Garden hoses, extension cords, rope, tent poles, camping gear, sports equipment, paint brushes, bundles of stakes, rolled up yoga mats, cords on blinds, luggage straps and closing opened bags of anything. In a garage or a shed, a handful hung on nails turns a wall into cable storage. They are also useful for marking - two ties in different positions on identical black leads tells you which is which without a label maker.
Will They Lose Grip Over Time?
Hook and loop fabric does wear eventually, and the usual cause is not use but contamination - lint, dust, hair and pet fur clog the hook side and stop it engaging. Keep them out of pockets and off carpet where they collect fluff, and pick loose fibres out of the hook face if grip drops. They also lose strength if left permanently in sunlight or heat. Used indoors on cables, a tie will typically outlast the cable it is holding.
Buyers are people tidying a desk or entertainment unit, home office workers, photographers and musicians with a lot of leads, tradespeople and campers, and anyone who has an unusable drawer of tangled chargers. It also sells to offices and schools buying in quantity, since 100 covers a whole room.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is each tie?
15cm. Two or more can be joined together for a longer run.
How wide are they?
The manufacturer does not publish a width for these ties, only the 15cm length. Contact us before ordering if the width matters and we will measure one.
What colour are they?
Colour is not specified by the manufacturer on this listing. Please order only if any colour is acceptable.
Can they be cut to length?
Yes, they can be cut or combined. Cutting will leave a raw fabric edge.
Will they hold heavy items?
They are designed for bundling, not for load bearing. Do not use them to suspend or support anything heavy.
Are they suitable outdoors?
They will work outdoors but prolonged sun and weather exposure will shorten their life. For permanent outdoor runs, use plastic ties rated for UV.
Do you ship Australia wide?
Yes, to every state and territory including regional and remote addresses.
