Zip Ties

Here's a quick tip on how to trim a zip tie so that there is NOT a sharp edge that will haunt you later - do not trim with cutters or snips, use a fresh razor blade. It'll leave a smooth end that won't come back to bite you later.

And a recent find are re-usable zip ties (found at Amazon) - I'm using them to bundle my tie-down straps securely when not in use. They seem to become quite handy around the shop for a good hold for something temporary or that will need to be released in the future without wasting a "permanent" zip tie.
