UST Gear Snake with Bendable Rubber-Coated Wrapping and Steel Core for Tying Down Equipment, Hiking, Camping and Outdoor Survival

It works well—not as heavy duty as it maybe could be, but still easier than using some of the alternatives when just trying to hang up a light weight thing or tie some stuff together. Again, not super heavy duty like some other short expensive tie downs, but useful & easy to cut with even scissors, so it’s that “in between” thing—a good step up from paper covered twist tie wire.

As others have said- this is different than the Nite Ize version. It is smooth and the wire is a skosch softer. They probably share 80% of applications. Since Nite Ize is thicker and stronger and ridged, it isn't as easy to feed through small holes- this works great and can be fed through screw holes and it rocks because you can cut it to the exact length you need. Much, much cheaper than nite Ize. I have a few nite Ize and use them when strength matters, otherwise I use this is for many, many various applications and more to come.

but don't expect anything super heavy duty for this price. I keep a roll in my old station wagon w a small snippers for securing odd shaped items to luggage rack...always have any custom length when needed. Not sure of it's life span yet but seems to be reusable within reason. DON'T USE this to tie plants or trees to supports...it'll harm them. I found out 1st hand lol.

This is a very useful product for doing Parks on the Air (POTA) activations, as it gives you a lot of flexibility in securing an antenna (or other components) in a non-destructive manner. The attached photo is from an activation on Prince Edward Island, with the cable holding the tactical pole in two spots during a heavy wind.

Slick and much cheaper than individual ties. Not as strong as and clearly won't last as ling as Nite Ize, but the price is right for non-critical applications. The black version is reasonably strong and a great value. The orange is absolute crap - has no strength, 5" of it can barely hold a folded VGA cable together.

I love these wraps. Originally bought one from Walmart and used it all and they don’t have anymore so got them here on Amazon. Same thing as from Walmart. I love it! Easy to use and cut to size. Not super sturdy to hold things but goo to tight and keep ropes, strings, ties, etc together. Buy it I love them.

easy to cut through, that being said, it does not have the rigidity that the regular ones have. I found that if I double them up, I can get them to work for me. The flexibility of being able to cut to length is very advantagious but also comes with disadvantages mentioned above.

Handy to have wire wrap and much less than nite eyez
