Cable ties - couldn't live without them!!

[Starscream]

Literally one of the best bits of kit in my bag. The drive to my mower - cable ties.. Broken knapsack sprayer - cable ties. Assistance when rebuilding a clutch on a large scarifier - cable ties!!! I even remember a thread on here when a guy used them on his lanyard when removing a dead tree so he'd have an easy cut off point should the tree have gone over! Awesome.

Yes, they will one day take over from baler twine!

May I recommend you don't use them to hold the chip box on your truck. I did and they were great up to 89mph. But 90mph proved a bit too much for them and I now I no longer have a chip box but someone on the M50 does

They're part of that great family of modern marvels, a rawhide thong for the twenty first century. Sublimely simple, eminently effective and so cheap they might as well grow on trees. The Biro pen, plastic razor, panty liner, toothbrush, lighter, rubber band, PET bottle, bog roll, AA battery, Chapstick, condom, bandaid, plastic bag,...should be a memorial to them and their inventors.
