x1000 Better than Velcro!

The garage is full of incredibly long, nasty, clumsy, but thoroughly functional and (theoretically) useful extension cords that the boys in my house don't want to part with. These articles have been driving me crazy for years! I finally found a way to store them vertically (Easy Hang Tracks Elfa with extra hooks - LOVE LOVE LOVE); However, there was a constant problem of keeping their form in a way that they could be "hung". (Both in terms of functionality and my obsessive need to make them pretty.) I tried various methods including various ropes, wires, and Velcro (I do NOT recommend them for a number of reasons) until I came across silicone straps. I used the shorter ones first (because I had 6" zip ties on hand). They worked GREAT, but the longest cables required 4-6 zip ties. I'm very thankful I discovered them. absolutely PERFECT for these industrial size cables !While I wrap them well initially only 2 of these babies keep their umbilical shape.They don't tangle on their own easy to change and this size gives a good and strong support!Also I've spent quite a bit of time looking for the best prices to look for the highest quality ties and I find these to be the best value for money.(I paid $11 and some change for a pack of 6 multicolored 18" ties) If you look at my photos and try figure out what the heck is going on. I still have some velcro straps on big cords. Not that they really serve a purpose, I just haven't taken them off yet.
