VELCRO Brand One Wrap Thin Ties, Black, 8 x 1/2-Inch, 100 Count (91140) Today we're looking at the "VELCRO Brand One Wrap Thin Ties, Black, 8 x 1/2-Inch, 100 Count (91140)" from VELCRO Brand. -------------- Introduction: -------------- When I find a product that does the job well, is easy to use and economical; I STICK WITH IT. Rarely does a product successfully combine all three of the above aspects, but this one CERTAINLY DOES. With four computers, three monitors, three routers and three switches (not to mention home theater audio/video gear), you can imagine the amount of cable clutter I have to deal with. There are several possible solutions, and I have used them in varying combinations, but these VELCRO Cable Ties form the BACKBONE for my cable management regimen. They are TRULY INDISPENSIBLE and I simply count NOT do without them! ----------------------- Manufacturer's Claims: ----------------------- * Take control of computer and electronics cord clutter with easily adjustable, reusable hook & loop ties. >>> >>> Yes, in spades! >>> * Perfect for computer, appliance and electronic cord organization, wire management and storage. >>> >>> Again, YES! >>> * Trusted & used in data & network centers across the globe. Wraps onto itself for secure hold >>> >>> The first part I cannot vouch for, but it seems quite reasonable >>> given that the second part is completely TRUE. >>> * 100 Pack of adjustable, reusable, low profile Black VELCRO Brand Thin Ties >>> >>> This is where the TRUE VALUE enters the picture. These are effective >>> and are an ABSOLUTE BARGAIN for the price. They are billed as light- >>> duty but are strong enough for the vast majority of jobs. >>> * Cut it to length or combine ties to make it the perfect length for any application >>> >>> Yes, you can, but I generally just use one tie and wrap the excess >>> back around itself so that I have an intact tie for re-use later. But >>> for tight spaces, you may want to cut them to a specific length. >>> ------ Pros: ------ * Totally effective! * Inexpensive * A generous quantity for the price * A multitude of uses around the home, shop and office ------ Cons: ------ * Not pre-cut >>> >>> This is really a nit rather than a con, but they come in a package >>> of four (4) rolls. Each roll is a continuous strip of ties that are >>> slightly notched to come apart at a specific point. You must be >>> CAREFUL to grasp the two adjoining ties at the PROPER POINT and >>> pull them apart. This way they will separate cleanly. If you just >>> yank "Willy Nilly" at a random point, you risk pulling the ties >>> apart at the wrong spot and ripping the head off one. >>> * Semi-punched through holes >>> >>> Again, a nit. The through holes where you insert the end of the >>> tie back upon itself are NEARLY completely punched through. You >>> must remove the waste scrap manually, but this is quite a simple >>> task. You just have to remember to throw them away otherwise you >>> have tiny VELCRO rectangles lying all over. >>> Despite these two minuscule nits, I really CANNOT see any way the product could be improved. -------------------- Craftsmanship: -------------------- VERY GOOD given the price and usage paradigm. 5 STARS. ------------------ Effectiveness: ------------------ 100% PERFECTLY EFFECTIVE. 5 STARS. ----------------- Price / Value: ----------------- Stunning bargain! At $0.06 each, you'd be hard pressed to find cheaper ones of comparable quality. 5 STARS. ---------------- Ease of Use: ---------------- Duh! Let's just say, you won't need instructions. If you do, give up and take up knitting instead. 5 STARS. ------------------------------- Conclusions and Rating: ------------------------------- This is my third purchase of the "VELCRO Brand One Wrap Thin Ties, Black, 8 x 1/2-Inch, 100 Count (91140)", and I CAN ALWAYS USE MORE as the uses for this product are nearly endless. So today, the "VELCRO Brand One Wrap Thin Ties" garner a PERFECT 5 STARS. I only wish I could give them 10! Great job VELCRO Brand and Amazon! Enjoy!

I don't know how many packs I've purchased over the years, but it's got to be close to 10. This is just perfect for cable management. When I was in undergrad, apparently I was already using these, but someone tried to pinch some pennies and cut them. Don't do that. They're cheap enough. It's Velcro brand velcro...err...hook and loop connectors. It's the original and real stuff. It's high quality. It'll also roll over on itself nicely meaning when you have your cable unfurled, then things still stay and look nice. They do make longer versions of this, but the 8" is generally enough for me. You can over extend them and they'll fail. That's not a product defect -- you just need longer ones. Surprisingly, they don't pick up that much hair or debris. So they stay clean pretty much on their own and you won't have this yucky looking fuzz mess at the end. They're a million times better than zip ties due to the reusability factor, although there's still a time and place for them. I don't see these that much out in the wild, so they seem to be a "hidden gem" in the tech world. I hope that changes!

This is a great product to have. Unless you have sworn off all electricity and telecommunications, you most likely have to deal with cords/cables. Nothing is more annoying than when they are messy, and this can in some cases present a tripping hazard. Rubber bands, wire ties, traditional zip ties, strong, and tape can all be used for this purpose, but they all have their downsides (some of which are significant.) Here, we have a cord/cable tie that uses a removable & reusable hook-and-loop fabric fastener produced by the Velcro brand, a name synonymous with hook-and-loop fasteners. Vastly different from the other options listed above, it is easy to apply, easy to remove, does not cause damage to cords/cables, does not rapidly degrade with age, can easily be cut (or combined) to change the size for the User's needs, and works well even when being used frequently. You have likely seen similar products at hardware stores, but generally the quantity per-package is low, and the price high. That limits practicality if you have a lot of cords. But here you can get 100 Velcro ties for about 6 bucks. Made with both economy & performance in mind, these wraps are lighter duty than some other Velcro products offered, and are only available in a black color. They measure 8 inches long and 1/2 inch wide, so they work well with most standard-sized cords (for larger cords, just connect two or more through the loops to form a single giant cord tie.) Each individual tie has a hole punched into one end, which allows the user to loop & tighten the tie to a cord/device so that the tie does not fall off of the cord when completely unstrapped/opened up. What I wanted was a versatile, durable, removable, reusable, and affordable cord/cable tie...these fit those needs perfectly. They are well made, reasonably strong, and the Velcro fastener used is very good quality considering the price. While these are lighter duty than most of the retail packages of Velcro Cord Ties are, these work perfectly for my general home-use needs and they cost about 1/10th the price. So I highly recommend these Velcro cord/cable ties!

Amazon shows this product (VELCRO Brand ONE-WRAP Cable Ties | 100Pk | 8 x 1/2" Black Cord Organization Straps ) (ASIN: B001E1Y5O6) as the number one seller in the category of "Electrical Cable Ties". I don't doubt that at all, since Velcro is the original. They invented this space. I purchased this 100 pack of Velcro brand ONE-WRAP pass-through cable ties in March of 2012 for $6.99. That comes to 7 cents each. I've used them extensively during that time... just about every power cord, HDMI cable, network cable and power tool in my house has one (or two in the case of laptop charging bricks). I've also given a few away as gifts to family members. They work great and have held up well. The benefit to these particular cable ties is that they stay connected to the cable even when you unwrap it. They loop around and through one end to secure it to the cable. This is best for something that you travel with, like a laptop, but not really necessary if you are organizing a bunch of cables behind your computer or TV. You can find cheaper, or thicker cable straps for bundling bulk cables. I recently moved and although I still have a few left in a box somewhere, I'm considering buying another pack to organize all of our electronics at home and even at work. The problem is that the price has doubled since my first purchase. This his has caused me to look elsewhere, and there appears to be plenty of other options as Velcro brand is definitely not the only game in town. Bottom line - I do recommend the VELCRO Brand ONE-WRAP Cable Ties for the right price (~.07 cents each).

These have been amazing to use. I had a whole sewing floor with 30 industrial sewing machines. Cords were everywhere, and now they are all neatly tucked away. My workplace looks better, and there are no more tripping hazards. I especially love that these are reusable, since I reposition them several times before getting it right.

​Exactly what I needed! These 8x1/2" black straps are easy to use and keep all my wires perfectly organized. They are durable and high-quality, making them way better than disposable ties. Highly recommend for anyone looking to declutter their cables!

great value. I use these everywhere to secure all my cables behind tv's, under the office desk, in wiring closets. Extremely versatile for use, and they never let me down.

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.

ممتاز في مهمتها

Una maravilla para lo que esperaba(: Los velcros estàn unidos uno tras otro, hay que identificar bien donde comienza & donde termina cada uno para separarlos, cabe mencionar que hay que ejercer bastante fuerza para retirarlos por lo que puede ser que si buscas uno de mayor medida puedes dejarlos unidos & simplemente brincarte al siguiente extremo dejando 2 unidos, es un punto a mencionar mas no lo he intentado porque el velcro es lo suficiente largo para organizar cables bastante gruesos. Una maravilla su presentación en forma de pulsera pues permite simplemente restirar el velcro para ajustar bien lo que se pretende organizar(: Parece que se desgastaran muy fácilmente pero cada que se une como corresponde se fija fuertemente jaja incluso con la zona en la que pasa para ajustar. Muy recomendado espero que les sea de utilidad mi reseña(;

These Velcro One-Wrap Thin Ties are the best cable tie solution I've ever come across. I had no idea that you could find Velcro that is so thin, yet creates such a strong hold around my cables or other items. And when I say thin, I mean it. This is not your typical Velcro you'd find on a ski jacket or child's running shoes, no this is super low profile. The hooks and loops are micro and you can barely feel them with your fingers. You don't get the same ripping sound that you would expect from Velcro when you peel it apart either. Very cool Velcro technology here! The ties all come rolled together in spools, so you'll have to peel off each tie as you need it. As some other reviewers mentioned, this can be a bit tedious if you want to replace any plastic ties or other ties you already have. It's a small price to pay for such an incredibly easy to use and strong performing cable tie. Overall, I'm very happy with these cable ties and I highly recommend them over any other cable tie products!

Excelente para organizar cables, plumas, etc. Tener las 2 opciones de color permite una organización aún mejor. Excelente calidad del producto también.

スタイル：2パック 個数：100 200 Count と記載してあったので、100個入りのものが2パックで合計200本届くという認識で購入しましたが、届いたものは100個入りのもの1パックのみでした。 まぁ十分安いとは思いますのでそのまま利用しますが、誤認を誘発する表記は不当表示と判断されかねないと思いますので訂正した方がいいと思います。
