Releasable cable ties have become very popular over the last several years, for obvious reasons. The fact that they can be reused means that they are not only more cost effective than standard cable ties, but that they are less of a hassle to disconnect and adjust when necessary. Here, we'll take a look at some of the big advantages to using reusable cable ties, as well as some of the applications both personal and commercial for which they are used.

Cable ties are called such because their primary use is for tying electrical cables together, thereby helping one organize large bundles of wires. While this is the most popular use for them, they are sturdy and versatile enough to have a number of applications. Cable ties are used in everything from construction to law enforcement (they are often used as temporary handcuffs) in many countries around the world. Releasable cable ties are so convenient because instead of having to cut them off or insert a needle between the box and ratchet systems (which weakens the cable tie significantly when it is used again), there are generally tabs attached with which one can easily release the tie from the ratchet. When the cable tie is released in this way, it suffers no damage and can be used again and again.

Releasable cable ties are great for home applications because they are adjustable, affordable, reusable, and reliable. They are also used in commercial applications such as the food industry and construction, because they offer a quick and simple way to bind various things together for a low cost. There are also lots of alternative types of tie, such as Velcro straps that can be attached to surfaces, and even Rapstrap products that offer a unique design allowing them to be reused over and over.

Using releasable cable ties also means you'll be wasting less plastic, which is important for anyone who cares about the environment. It might not seem like much, but dozens upon dozens of cable ties build up, and some companies throw away literally hundreds of thousands per year. If you're looking for a more cost effective solution to standard cable ties, consider using a releasable variety. They are just as reliable, and in fact last longer than normal cable ties, while their reusability allows them to move on from one job to another without sacrificing plastic or money.
