Thomas & Betts TY528MX Ty-Rap 14-Inch Ultraviolet Resistant Nylon 6.6 Cable Tie with Stainless Steel Locking Device, Black, 100-Pack

I've worked in technology for 20 years and the one thing we always need is a good zip tie. Whether you are running cables in the ceiling or tying up a bundle of cables, you need a zip tie that won't come back apart and can handle the weight.T&B Ty-Rap is the tie that I've always used and they have always held up to anything I throw at them. I like the metal tong and that prevents it from re-opening. Plus, the material that these are made from makes them able to hold a lot of weight.I love them so much, I bought them to use at my house too.Sure, I have the ones from the cheap freight store that we all know, but these are 100 times better than those and will last a long time.

These are the best UV nylon stainless steel lock ties made in my opinion. Experience is the best teacher, 28+ years in the electrical trade, many years in the Ham Radio hobby. They are durable and tough, T&B is my only choice. They are getting expensive though. Still love them. Buying more soon I have another tower project coming up and I'm running low.

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’.

These are not cheap. But, compared with the all-plastic zip ties from the competition, these hold without fail in all kinds of applications on my truck and in my work trailer.I've used them for wire management, as hose hangers, and for almost anything else that involved mounting something to something else. Despite frequently being exposed to UV light, high temperatures, and sharp metal edges, these things don't break or loosen as I've experienced with countless other brands of nylon zip ties.Buy them!

I've tried many other cheaper brands of tie wraps that work good for temporary use, but if I want to ensure the quality I just buy T & B because they are strongest and most reliable. Seller sent exactly what I ordered on time and priced fairly.

Cable ties come in all sorts of qualities. I'd rate Thomas & Betts at the top for what I use them for. They aren't the most expensive but they hold up to outdoor use and meet or exceed their weight rating. If you've only used cheap ties you owe it to yourself (and your project) to upgrade to a better product.

This is a Mil Standard product and I use them when durability is a factor. Price is a bit high though.

Other zip ties with plastic barbs back off and release tension at inconvenient times these with the steel locking gate don't back off I rely on these they are the best
