Wadda I do now?
I'm just about out of my favorite zip tie. It's a real tough black plastic one made by Ideal with a stainless steel barb instead of a plastic barb/catch. You have to cut them off. They never slip. They hold up well in all environments. I'll use them to secure a transducer cable down the shaft of a trolling motor, and I use them in direct sunlight when I need to get my poop in a group. Most every other zip tie I have tried is crap by comparison.
They don't make them anymore.
You can thank all the installers who always want cheapest product available for that. why do a quality job.
Don't know anything about these guys................... but..................
Ideal never really made them anyway. They are all made overseas. Zip-tie.com carries several brands.

Here are some of a different brand:
Yeah, I do have some solid stainless zip ties left from my custom motorcycle days. I would actually buff and polish them before using. The one I was talking about in this thread though was a hard nylon with a stainless dog molded into the head.
I didn't even know all stainless steel ones existed. I'm glad to know that now!
