Review on Set Of 16 VIGAER Adjustable Nylon Cable Ties With Metal Buckles - 30 Inch Reusable Fastening Straps For Secure Cinching And Fastening by Cesar Rios

I ordered 36" straps, thinking they would handle ALL bundles up to about 32" circumference. Well… that's not quite the way it works. I didn't understand the mechanics of a velcro CINCH type strap … they have both a maximum and a MINIMUM working circumference. For the 36" strap, the maximum bundle size is about 10" diameter. But the MINIMUM bundle size is about 5.7" diameter. And you cannot shorten them by cutting off some of the end. The only way to shorten a cinch type velcro strap is to cut off the metal cinch buckle and sew it on again shorter.The straps themselves are very well made and very sturdy. But if you need them for smaller bundles, then buy a length that is maybe only a little longer (4" ?) than the bundle circumference.
