Default Zip-Tie substitute

Does anyone know of a product like the zip-tie but can be adjusted to both tighten and loosen? I'm working on something and I need to be able to have it adjustable.

They are these crazy things called rubber bands. Brand new! Ill sell you a handful cheap bro!



(sorry.. I had to do it).

I use these "cable" ties that are made of velcro for my home theater cables to clean up the cabling behind my A/V rack. They are fully adjustable. Is this for INTERIOR use, or is it exterior??

Sort of like this, but mine are way better. I just ebay'd it for you in 3 seconds.

This is for outdoor use. So i'm hoping for something made out of plastic or so.

Ok - ill bite. What are you doing exactly so I can try and help you with your solution? Your being to vague. Are you setting up a remote covert operation? Skynet perhaps?



Explain what your trying to do. It will help get you an answer.

They do sell adjustable zipties.

I remember when my new boss started and was doing some wiring in the server room and cut about 100 adjustable zip ties, I looked at him like he was the biggest idiot in the world.

Those releasable zip ties are your best bet.

Here's local source for them:

Store is in Hillsboro by the airport, I buy all my cables from them.
