Zip Ties Not Just for Handcuffs Any More

We have them but hardly use them. My brother used to use them to ziptie plastic milk crates together to make a shelf.

Nothing that can be mentioned on this site lol!

That doesn’t look like zip ties to me looks like bungee cords.

As you know by now, what you have is a bungee cord, they do come in handy. I did use one to keep a piece of siding from breaking during a hurricane a few years ago, worked great. I also use them to keep a tarp on my riding lawn mower. zip ties also come in handy, years ago one of the brackets holding my radiator broke and the radiator fell down. So I used a couple of zip ties to hold it up. I drove it like that for years. I also put a zip tie through the hole in my house key, works like a charm, I no longer have to guess which key goes to my front door. I know now out of all the keys on my keychain the one with the zip tie goes to my front door.

It's good that they worked for you.

Nothing that I can think of other than bunching cords together so that they aren't so messy.

I never use them. I am sure they could be handy in a variety of circumstances though.

I use them for I am not sure yet

Thats how I added fence wire to the stalls to make them goat proof.

Yes! Holding pipes up under the house is another good use.

Zip ties are always those things that you never think you need but so happy to have when you need them. We used them on a few things. I remember they were the reason why our fences were staying up for a while.

Lol. I can't think of any other uses, but that did make me chuckle

i dont ise zip ties. before yes.

Very clever. Since I live in the countryside, we often have to use multiple things for different purposes.

My husband and our son love zip ties, they are like the modern stronger version of duct tape. They use them for so many things.

Ha ha yes I think the same as you just about every time I use one (we call them cable ties). I have some securing different sections of my chicken fence together, and attaching a basket and lamp holders to my bicycle. And holding the netting to the fruit cage frame.

We use these so often. They are so convenient.

I always thought zip ties were a good way to make a girl do what we want. Hmm.Clearly I was wrong.

if you've ever been around tuner car people like I have, you'll see that half of their cars are held together with zip ties I've also used one with slits cut in it to unclog a bathtub drain and one as a hair tie in a pinch
