VELCRO Brand One Wrap Thin Ties, Black, 8 x 1/2-Inch, 100 Count (91140)Today we're looking at the "VELCRO Brand One Wrap Thin Ties, Black, 8 x 1/2-Inch, 100 Count (91140)" from VELCRO Brand.--------------Introduction:--------------When I find a product that does the job well, is easy to use and economical; I STICK WITH IT. Rarely does a product successfully combine all three of the above aspects, but this one CERTAINLY DOES.With four computers, three monitors, three routers and three switches (not to mention home theater audio/video gear), you can imagine the amount of cable clutter I have to deal with. There are several possible solutions, and I have used them in varying combinations, but these VELCRO Cable Ties form the BACKBONE for my cable management regimen.They are TRULY INDISPENSIBLE and I simply count NOT do without them!-----------------------Manufacturer's Claims:-----------------------* Take control of computer and electronics cord clutter with easily adjustable, reusable hook & loop ties.>>>>>> Yes, in spades!>>>* Perfect for computer, appliance and electronic cord organization, wire management and storage.>>>>>> Again, YES!>>>* Trusted & used in data & network centers across the globe. Wraps onto itself for secure hold>>>>>> The first part I cannot vouch for, but it seems quite reasonable>>> given that the second part is completely TRUE.>>>* 100 Pack of adjustable, reusable, low profile Black VELCRO Brand Thin Ties>>>>>> This is where the TRUE VALUE enters the picture. These are effective>>> and are an ABSOLUTE BARGAIN for the price. They are billed as light->>> duty but are strong enough for the vast majority of jobs.>>>* Cut it to length or combine ties to make it the perfect length for any application>>>>>> Yes, you can, but I generally just use one tie and wrap the excess>>> back around itself so that I have an intact tie for re-use later. But>>> for tight spaces, you may want to cut them to a specific length.>>>------Pros:------* Totally effective!* Inexpensive* A generous quantity for the price* A multitude of uses around the home, shop and office------Cons:------* Not pre-cut>>>>>> This is really a nit rather than a con, but they come in a package>>> of four (4) rolls. Each roll is a continuous strip of ties that are>>> slightly notched to come apart at a specific point. You must be>>> CAREFUL to grasp the two adjoining ties at the PROPER POINT and>>> pull them apart. This way they will separate cleanly. If you just>>> yank "Willy Nilly" at a random point, you risk pulling the ties>>> apart at the wrong spot and ripping the head off one.>>>* Semi-punched through holes>>>>>> Again, a nit. The through holes where you insert the end of the>>> tie back upon itself are NEARLY completely punched through. You>>> must remove the waste scrap manually, but this is quite a simple>>> task. You just have to remember to throw them away otherwise you>>> have tiny VELCRO rectangles lying all over.>>>Despite these two minuscule nits, I really CANNOT see any way the product could be improved.--------------------Craftsmanship:--------------------VERY GOOD given the price and usage paradigm. 5 STARS.------------------Effectiveness:------------------100% PERFECTLY EFFECTIVE. 5 STARS.-----------------Price / Value:-----------------Stunning bargain! At $0.06 each, you'd be hard pressed to find cheaper ones of comparable quality. 5 STARS.----------------Ease of Use:----------------Duh! Let's just say, you won't need instructions. If you do, give up and take up knitting instead. 5 STARS.-------------------------------Conclusions and Rating:-------------------------------This is my third purchase of the "VELCRO Brand One Wrap Thin Ties, Black, 8 x 1/2-Inch, 100 Count (91140)", and I CAN ALWAYS USE MORE as the uses for this product are nearly endless.So today, the "VELCRO Brand One Wrap Thin Ties" garner a PERFECT 5 STARS. I only wish I could give them 10! Great job VELCRO Brand and Amazon!Enjoy!

Addressing the negative reviews:No, they are not as durable or easy to use as the fabric hook & loop fasteners that cost more than $1 each at Best Buy/New Egg/your corner computer shop. These cost a fraction as much and are more plastic than fabric. Their holding power is not particularly strong but it is sufficient for keeping small cables bundled up. That means that they work well for the intended purpose.They are 8 inches long and 0.5 inches wide. If you received another size, why are you posting a negative review of the wrong product instead of requesting that the seller send you the correct product? The size alone should tell you that they are not going to be well suited for wrapping up the 20 foot wide awning on the side of your RV or for securing cargo to the top of your van. The description says "light duty". Even if it didn't say that at one time, the pictures easily relate that fact as well.They are Velcro. They're sold and labeled by Velcro. That makes them a Velcro product. If you think that Velcro implies a heavier nylon fabric fastener, you need to look up the word 'Trademark'. Velcro is a trademark for a specific brand of hook and pile fasteners, not a specific grade of such fasteners.If you need a product that does the kind of things that are depicted in the accompanying photographs, look no further. This is it. The fact that it is more than strong enough for that use and incredibly inexpensive makes it a no-brainer. Buy an extra roll or three for Christmas lights and all the presents with cables you'll be getting (and giving!) as well as bundling up all the appliance cords in the house.Extra tip: Roll them up with the soft side facing out and they won't stick to other fabrics or gather lint so easily.****I have just purchased my fourth 100-pack of these. Nearly every cord in my house has one on it. They are absolutely indispensable for lightweight extension cords and USB cables, which, especially, have proliferated throughout my home and vehicles.
