LPT: If you have a lot of loose zip ties, well cut the head off of one and zip the rest onto that!

They came in a bag, I just find it easier and neater to deal with them this way when they get tossed off in a toolbox or the random kitchen junk/fastener drawer.
If you cut a small hole in the bag 1/5 of the way down, it keeps them together and you can bend a tie to get a single one out.
Still doesn't make it any easier to pull out a specific color in a mixed variety color pack..
Good point, I have single-colour bags only.
Ok, now imagine you have like 4000 of them, which normally just fit in a normal sized ziplock bag. Bro is going to sit there for literally hours threading them onto another zip tie.
Oh hell with all that, if I got that many zip ties, I'm just gonna zip tie them in sensible size nobody's really counting bundles.
