You can also just slide the zip ties backwards onto an intact zip tie. The lock will not engage backwards. That way when you’ve used the stored ties you still have one to use.

Yeah you're right. I actually ended up thinking about exactly that after I finished arranging this.
Oh well, whatever. Good tip though. 👍
Back at ya 😎
Good call
Well this is brilliant.
Grab a handful of zip ties.
Take one zip tie, wrap it around the bundle and tighten, but don't overtighten.
The end. Exponentially faster than whatever the hell this post is.
True, but this makes it way easier to keep count while also keeping colors arranged.
Who is counting zip ties???
That one supply manager from the office that decided every item needs to be individually counted....they spend thousands in labor to save $6 every year.
I cut the corner of the bag they came in so I can shake one loose at a time.
I didn't know how you'd have so many loose.
Initially that's exactly what I did too, but I needed to be able to pick between specific colors, and that's rather difficult with just the corner of the bag cut, especially when your hands are covered in nasty engine oils and fluids and crud..
I just use one to wrap the rest
... and then turn that strip of zip ties into an Ultimate Warrior costume!…
/s but also don’t…or your dad may need to cut you out of it using tin snips because you pulled them to tight…hypothetically
LOL!
Many years ago I jokingly dared my friend's sister to dress up in packing tape. I was totally being silly, but she actually did it hahaha!
I ended up having to cut her out of it. Guess she didn't think about how tape sticks to hairs in sensitive areas..
Yes she was of age, like 24 at the time I think.
Thank you for the tip and also the beautiful picture.
You're quite welcome.
If you think for like 3 extra seconds, I could also use this arrangement to weave color patterned zip tie 'fabric' of sorts, but that isn't quite my thing. Still it would work though..
I’ve definitely weaved zip ties like this as a kid lol though not with color coordination in mind
Would be a great shitty pro life tip to instead tie each one into a chain. That way you can count them and even wear them like a daisy chain!
It only takes one to make a quick cheap cock ring.
And it only takes about 20 minutes to need to ring 911.
Nah I'll pass, never done that, not smort...
I cut the top of the pack, take one out, zip the bundle together so it won't fall off, pull one out when i needed it, then zip it tight each time. This one take too much initial effort to set up, especially when you have a tiny one.
