Broke as soon as they drew tight, out in the cold. Seemed OK in the summer , but broke in the wind later in the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobra513 Posted January 6, 2013 Share Posted January 6, 2013 Watch some of those cheap walmart zip ties. I admit I shop there aloy but the last package of zip ties I bought atleast 1 or 2 out of 5 the tab would break off when tightened even in the summer.

tjflory Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 (edited) At a penny each, I don't care if four out of five broke. Cheap is the word and I'm on that bus....So let me check my math...You would spend 5 cents to get 1 good one, but I spend 3 cents each on good ones...

Orville Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 I get the 4" black ones at a local store in my area for $1.00 for 200. So I'm getting them for .01¢ per every 2. I've had some break or be bad out of the bunch, but out of the thousands I've bought, I've had less than 2% be bad or break when pulled too tight. And they have held up well in all Florida weather conditions too.Just hope they get some more in as I bought them out this past Christmas season {actually prior to Halloween} since I use these for all sorts of things, not just typing up or down lights.

Guest wbottomley Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 BTW... I love your display(s) and web site. Very Very well done.tjThank you. But, I'm having some second thoughts about having one any longer. I've had two close friends & neighbors die during the season. Could have spent more time with them but I was tied up with the show. I'll have a few months to iron it out and see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baron1414 Posted January 13, 2013 Share Posted January 13, 2013 Wbottomley, I am on the bus with you. I like HF, I buy my cableties, cables and numerous other items. They also honor their warranty when something doesn't work, no questioned asked. Thanks for the heads up of the upcoming sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
