Terrific price on GOOD quality nylon cable ties

[John E Davies]

Heads up! Home Depot bulk packs of the sizes you will use most on sale through Dec 26, in natural and black, $9.88. Even their regular price is a great deal compared to buying the smaller packs.

Here is a BIG caution about nylon ties, some cheap brands are brittle and will break. I am talking about Harbor Freight and Walmart specifically. It is distressing to have one after the next of your “50 pound rated” ties snap off merely by pulling them snug by a pair of pliers. They do harden and get brittle  normally over a long time (age hardening) or when exposed to a lot of heat (your engine bay) but they should never do this straight out of the package.😤 I have never had a problem with this brand, and I won’t order brands on Amazon with weird names.

I go though a bunch of ties, I even use them to secure opened bags of lawn fertilizer. Normally I prefer the lighter color but when the wires are in a black split loom sleeve like the Ollie, black looks a lot more professional. Happy Holidays.

Thanks JD!  I checked HD online for my local store and they had them in stock.  They also had 8", 11" or 14" bags of 500 count for $8.88.  I went and picked up a bag of the ones you referenced.  They weren’t priced $9.88 on the shelf, but that was the price at checkout.
