Whether "Zip" ties made from Nylon, or Stainless Steel ties are made from Type 316, what would the world be like without them? Certainly, any cable combination of more than one, needs to be kept in its place in a safe way, kept from dangling or "whipping" around.
Used everywhere and in every tool box, cable ties are found keeping the chain link on the fenceposts around a baseball field, holding barbed wire on security fencing, electric wires for lights on a new bridge, or the lids on oyster pots, cable ties are truly the "duct tape" of fasteners.
