Rarely does a product successfully combine all three of the above aspects, but this one CERTAINLY DOES.With four computers, three monitors, three routers and three switches (not to mention home theater audio/video gear), you can imagine the amount of cable clutter I have to deal with. There are several possible solutions, and I have used them in varying combinations, but these VELCRO Cable Ties form the BACKBONE for my cable management regimen.They are TRULY INDISPENSIBLE and I simply count NOT do without them!-----------------------Manufacturer's Claims:-----------------------* Take control of computer and electronics cord clutter with easily adjustable, reusable hook & loop ties.>>>>>> Yes, in spades!>>>* Perfect for computer, appliance and electronic cord organization, wire management and storage.>>>>>> Again, YES!>>>* Trusted & used in data & network centers across the globe. Wraps onto itself for secure hold>>>>>> The first part I cannot vouch for, but it seems quite reasonable>>> given that the second part is completely TRUE.>>>* 100 Pack of adjustable, reusable, low profile Black VELCRO Brand Thin Ties>>>>>> This is where the TRUE VALUE enters the picture. These are effective>>> and are an ABSOLUTE BARGAIN for the price. They are billed as light->>> duty but are strong enough for the vast majority of jobs.>>>* Cut it to length or combine ties to make it the perfect length for any application>>>>>> Yes, you can, but I generally just use one tie and wrap the excess>>> back around itself so that I have an intact tie for re-use later. But>>> for tight spaces, you may want to cut them to a specific length.>>>------Pros:------* Totally effective!* Inexpensive* A generous quantity for the price* A multitude of uses around the home, shop and office------Cons:------* Not pre-cut>>>>>> This is really a nit rather than a con, but they come in a package>>> of four (4) rolls. Each roll is a continuous strip of ties that are>>> slightly notched to come apart at a specific point. You must be>>> CAREFUL to grasp the two adjoining ties at the PROPER POINT and>>> pull them apart. This way they will separate cleanly. If you just>>> yank "Willy Nilly" at a random point, you risk pulling the ties>>> apart at the wrong spot and ripping the head off one.>>>* Semi-punched through holes>>>>>> Again, a nit. The through holes where you insert the end of the>>> tie back upon itself are NEARLY completely punched through. You>>> must remove the waste scrap manually, but this is quite a simple>>> task. You just have to remember to throw them away otherwise you>>> have tiny VELCRO rectangles lying all over.>>>Despite these two minuscule nits, I really CANNOT see any way the product could be improved.--------------------Craftsmanship:--------------------VERY GOOD given the price and usage paradigm. 5 STARS.------------------Effectiveness:------------------100% PERFECTLY EFFECTIVE. 5 STARS.-----------------Price / Value:-----------------Stunning bargain! At $0.06 each, you'd be hard pressed to find cheaper ones of comparable quality. 5 STARS.----------------Ease of Use:----------------Duh! Let's just say, you won't need instructions. If you do, give up and take up knitting instead. 5 STARS.-------------------------------Conclusions and Rating:-------------------------------This is my third purchase of the "VELCRO Brand One Wrap Thin Ties, Black, 8 x 1/2-Inch, 100 Count (91140)", and I CAN ALWAYS USE MORE as the uses for this product are nearly endless.So today, the "VELCRO Brand One Wrap Thin Ties" garner a PERFECT 5 STARS. I only wish I could give them 10! Great job VELCRO Brand and Amazon!Enjoy!

Over the years, I have accumulated too many cables to count. With each new gadget, I get a new cable. I have multiple chargers, adapters, plugs, and cables of various types, lengths, and brands. I use most of them interchangeably, but I can't seem to throw any of them out, even though I may have seven different micro USB cables and five different mini USB cables. Some work with specific electronics, and some don't. I'm constantly trying them all out, since most aren't marked by brand. Up until recently, I've tried to coil them up the best I could and just cram them all into my "extras" drawer or in a container. When I need one, I have to go in there and pull out this bird's nest of cords and start untangling. Then I do it all over again. I've tried holding them together with rubberbands and tape, with varying degrees of success. While browsing through Amazon, I found this product. It was cheap, and came with a lot of ties, so I gave it a shot. I am extremely glad I did. The package includes eight coils of velcro straps. The strips are perforated at the ends, so it's easy to tear off the end tie while keeping the rest in the coil until you're ready to use the next one. Each tie has a little cut out hole at one end so you can loop it around the cable you want to tie up for safekeeping. That way, when you undo the strap and use the cable, the velcro tie stays on the cable and you don't lose it. The velcro type is passive; it's smoother than, say, the velcro you'd find on clothes. That comes in pretty handy as it doesn't attract as much dust or lint, but still provides more than enough hold to keep the cable wrapped up firmly. When I received this product, I immediately went to work securing all the cables that were floating around in my drawer. Everything is so neat and tidy in there now it's remarkable. It's so much easier to pick out which cable I need and pull that one out, instead of pulling out the whole load and untangling what I need. It also freed up a lot of space in that drawer. It makes taking cables on trips a lot more headache free as well, since everything is packed up nice and neat and won't get loose in my purse or luggage. It makes identifying the right cables a lot easier and organizing a lot faster and efficient. I also use it to tidy up the snakepit of cords I have running behind my entertainment center. And since this package contains 100 ties, I have more than enough left over. This product is perfect for my needs and should be on the shopping list of everyone who owns an abundance of electronics and cables.

I purchased this product to help me organize a huge mass of cords and cables. They work like a charm and have allowed me to restore order to my previously chaotic desktop and electronics drawer. The color is a deep black. The Velcro is strong, with good adhesion. The size is perfect for use with all sorts of cords or cables. The length can be adjusted as needed. They were a great price considering how high quality they are and how many come with each order.
