Thomas & BettsThomas and Betts TR TY526MX Cable TIE 30LB 11" UV BL (Pack of 100)

Hard to find in hardware stores, these adjust continuously rather than in coarse clicks, ant they are not stretchy.

These are great no mater what size or length you purchase. This is the only brand I buy because they are time tested by my many years as an electrician. I also use these on my antenna towers, they survive.

it arrived on time and was as advertised

From reading some other reviews, I see that people aren’t always receiving a genuine T&B product. I bought mine through Windy City Supply. They arrived in heat sealed packages, with a yellow sticker on them. I contacted the vendor and verified that the ones I received are genuine. (They buy in bulk and repackage them in smaller quantities, which is fine, because it saves money and I don’t need 1,000 of them.) Getting a genuine product is important. You’re paying a premium price, for a premium product. You should get what you’re paying for. T&B cable ties, are the gold standard for cable ties. They have all of the proper ratings and live up to them. They surpass all other cable ties, when it comes to strength, temperature range, UV resistance, etc. If you don’t receive genuine T&B cable ties, you should return them, at the vendor’s expense. Don’t accept substitutes! With all of that out of the way, I highly recommend these cable ties. I’ve used them, professionally, for over 25 years. If you don’t need the highest performance cable ties, you can probably get away with using cheaper brands. However, when you need them to last, and last a long time, Thomas & Betts are the ones to get. One of the best features of these, is the continuous tightening. Have you ever been using a cable tie, that was too loose, but you couldn’t make it to the next ‘click’? That won’t happen with these. Because of the design, they will tighten continuously. You’ll never be trying for that next ‘click’.

This cable tie is nice. I was watching this to buy and had it on my saved list. Then, the price dropped from 12 to 2.50 or something like that and I jump on it thinking it was too good to be true. It was as I rec'd 10, not 100 and still had it shipped free. Even at that price, the 10 were a good deal for these since they are not cheapo ties.I could not give it a 5 star for the qty, but it's still a great tie. When I use these, I will be ording more.

The only cable tie worth buying. Save your money, get these.

I came across this brand probably a dozen years ago. Peread my supply ran out 2 years ago and I have missed them ever since and I just recently refound them. these are great straps. I love the metal tongue

I used these to tie down an anemometer wire along a telescoping flag pole that I had used as a mast. As far as tensile strength required for this job, the cheapo cable ties would have been sufficient; however, those type of nylon ties seem to embrittle here in the desert sun and fail after a year or two. These haven't. The cheapo ties have ratchet notches which didn't always snug up the wire to the pole exactly. With that stainless blade holding the strap, these can be tightened perfectly.
