Premium Ancor Marine Grade Cable Ties for Secure and Reliable Fastening Review

The packaging of the product I received did not say 'Sea Grade' but it was an Ancor product. The entire cable tie package was so brittle that it broke about half the time I applied force to it. Even when I tried to tie a bow, the tie broke in my hands. Completely useless, I would choose another manufacturer. Maybe a marine grade product is better as I mentioned that the packaging I received didn't say "Marine Grade".

Received recently. I use them for scuba gear, 2nd stage mouthpiece, BCD clamp, etc. The low profile is great, keeps it clean and eliminates bumps and obstructions, but they don't tighten in the same way. A regular zipper can be pulled back to really tighten the loop. You cannot withdraw with this. The only way to tighten it is to pull it out and put pressure on your head. Not optimal and does not pull as tight as a normal screed. It's ok, but don't do it if you "tightly" need it.

These ties are no good. I bought these to attach a garden trellis. First, the instructions that came with it were wrong. The picture shows the wrong thread direction. Second, most zip ties won't snag no matter how you thread the end through the hole. They came off easily. I bought a pack and used 11 of them. Of these, only one worked (tightened and hooked), three gripped but didn't tighten (only slipped when trying to tighten), and six of the ethers broke or didn't hook at all.
