Need Quality Cable ties, Zip Ties

[peteco]

What is a good source for quality cable ties or zip ties. In particular I want ~15-inch heavy duty ties. I have searched the internet and everything I find is non-US made and gets questionable reviews.

 

[American Locomotive]

I find the ones from McMaster-Carr are fine.

 

[erty67]

I like Thomas & Betts cable ties

Thomas and Betts is the real deal.

 

[General Geoff]

For suuuper heavy duty, try the TY527MX.

T&B are the best

 

[frankush]

Panduit is another. Not sure where they're made these days, but they have always been very good.

Panduit is what we used where I worked.

I bought these a while back for a project and they are the best ones I've ever seen.

Cobra cable ties are really good and are a "safety" style of cable tie. No sharp edges...

 

[Bretny]

The "ty-rap" brand is what we use at work. They have the metal tab in them and you never get pull outs. Made in USA.

 

[57plymouth]

The ones in the green label bag at Home Despot work great for me.

 

[APEowner]

I have no idea about where they're made but both Del City and McMaster-Carr sell quality zip ties.

Yep. Nuthin' but genuine metal toothed T&B Ty-Rap for me, thanks.

I get mine from a race shop down in Speedway. You can order them online from the usual sources.

They are a little spendy but worth it.

 

[PCMusicGuy]

Maybe try GripLock cable ties?

Metal teeth are dinosaurs. They were the best option a LONG time ago, but quality modern all nylon tie wraps are stronger. The tooth cuts into the band, reducing overall strength.

Still, T&B Ty-Rap is the best product on the market (they do make many without metal teeth). Also, USA produced tie wraps of all sorts of brands are easily found online. DO NOT buy anything imported, or old stock if you care at all about strength.

While they are not the larger 15" ones you need, I have bought some from Menard's with decent luck.

Zipties are one thing I will not buy from HF.

 

[rlitman]

...Zipties are one thing I will not buy from HF.

Yeah, exactly. I bought a pack of fluorescent zip ties from HF years ago. Not for tying things, but just to have bright colored ties on stuff to make it stand out (like color coding my checked airline luggage). For that they've worked out well enough.

Just ordered these T&B. I would have preferred the metal tab ones if they had been long enough.

I've found the Thomas & Betts are hands down the best (at least of the ones I have used) but they are far from inexpensive. Best bang for the buck I have found are the ones from McMaster-Carr. Seem to be good quality at a good price. Early ones from NAPA were good but over the past couple of years I have not been impressed.

I've used non-metal ones for years. Never had one fail. Hope they meet your expectations.

If they're genuine T&B, they'll be fine.

Hellermann Tyton

 

[jeffmoss26]

T&B, Panduit, Hellerman-Tyton, Ideal are all good.

 

[californiaHank]

3M or Panduit.

 

[CGarage]

Grote and 3M I think have UV resistant cable ties.

 

[jeffmoss26]

T&B Ty raps!!

 

[jtitus07]

Deltec brand. We used em to help support hundreds of pounds of copper telco cable. We had some that were round 24 inches and some that were maybe 12 or 14 inches. We also had some that came in a 50ft roll and you had a pack of connectors so you can make them whatever length you need.

Exactly. The gold standard.
