I usually love and buy a lot of Nite Ize products. I've used them to wrap loose cords, tie things, and store things in a more concise form factor. I've used their products on many Air Force missions, but their "better tapes" serve no useful purpose. They are difficult to tighten and wrap around the fastener. The straps slide out of the end caps and are not suitable for people with large hands. They have been removed and are currently not in use. Buy velcro straps or bungee cords.
