    Cable tidying

    First off, are these just normal cable ties, if so why are they so cheap when other companys charge the same ammount for about 50.

    Also do you sell sprial wrap and tie bases because i cant find any.

    Thanks

    Theyre twist ties - not the plastic cable ties your probably thinking of, thats why they are cheaper...

    I have a few 20cm x 12cm ties left over from my psu.

    I quite like the size of these, they will go over basically anything. Are they a suitable size or should i go shorter/ tihinner?

    EDIT: Found em at maplin, now do i get 2.1 or 2.8 mm cable bases?
