Where to get decent cable ties?

[B1Toad]

Looking for decent quality. I don't have a problem finding the 8" and longer in a quality brand like Gardner Bender at the electric supply and I use them all the time but I need some smaller, thinner ones that don't break easily and preferably are UV resistant.

As a side note I went to Home Depot today and they have taken most of their name brand electrical products out of the stores and replaced them with their house brands, Commercial Electric and HDX which I despise. 15 feet of Commercial Electric and HDX zip ties. They have the name brands online if you want to wait a week. Screw them. If I have to order them what do I need Home Depot for?

I might get some flak for this but I've never really been disappointed by the ones from harbor freight

Maybe I'll try them again but quite a few years ago I bought some there that were absolute junk, they wouldn't even stay cinched up. Never tried them again. I also bought a package of welding gloves there once and when I got home and opened the package they were both left handed!

It helps they're insanely cheap there. Harbor freight welder types (like me!) probably have two left hands, to be fair. Like a dancer with two left feet

I have had pretty good luck with the Gardner Bender brand. I have multiple configurations of their zip/cable management ties, and they have all worked well. I usually pick them up at Menard’s.

I went looking today and the only thin 8" ones I found were Dorman at O'reilly. Bought some and they work fine.

We use the big fat ones to hold signs and banners on the fences at the ball park. Can't say we are disappointed as they last through hurricanes better than the banners. Not to mention, they are a block away.

I have a bunch of the big HVAC ones and the tool to cinch them up, they work great for heavy duty stuff.

Buy the stainless steel ones with the tool
