    Goodness...seriously I have been trying to find these PVC type twisty ties forever but the only place I can find them is from manufactures in China but you have to buy 100 spools! I would love to buy a spool so i could cut my own and have a lifetime supply but I can't find anywhere that carries good ones.

    These are the ties I have gotten in boxes and I want to get more of these...do you guys'/gals' know where to get these?

    They are like ~2-2.5mm or ~2/16 inch. These are really nice twisty ties that last and go on nicely. Not like the junky ones that are similar to the bread bag ones.

    I use cable ties and an applicator/cutter gun. Have stock of standard and releasable ties depending on what type of use.

    i use a ton of zip ties at work but for home i prefer the thin velcro ties. eas to reuse for cable management.
