I bought a set of three black cable ties. They are very well made, the black finish looks like it will hold up for years of use and the clamping mechanism is very solid. My favorite feature is color. Most ties are silver or gold in color and are quite bright and flashy. Blacks are not flashy at all. With a dark tie they are almost invisible; With a light tie, they are still very careful. So you get all the features of a flashless tie, which is exactly what I was looking for.
