Just curious, what kind of data and control systems do you work on?

i use 'em on computers i build...they're useful for the computers for a vehicle though i'd probably rather use a zip tie w/ the screw hole...still a fun little accessory to use none-the-less!

Holy crap, I can't believe that I've never seen these before, I use zip ties on everything...aside from electrical automotive stuff, I'm always zip tying crap around the house, especially during the holidays when it's time to hang decorations and such. Great find Corey, I'm a gonna have to hit Home Depot and pick some of these up

LMFAO

Commercial Electric Contractor. We mainly specialize in commercial tenant fitups but do plenty of other work. We also do quite a bit of data cabling and LAN setups. We are always doing a MRI or CT medical suite which have quite a bit of data needs. Obviously our electricians are always messing around in control cabinets and need to zip tie crap up sometimes.

BTW, there is NO picture of me working floating around ANYWHERE...I don't work.

Ya i used a ton of the these while wiring up the new computer at home... I have 2 power strips, 7-8 USB cords, network cables, power cables, dsl line, etc. I used them to attach and organize all the wires... the adhesive it pretty damn stong and held big buddles of wires. I will try to post up some pics of the aftermath later on tonight.
