LPT: If you have a lot of loose zip ties, well cut the head off of one and zip the rest onto that! (lemmy.world)

This is amazing, you can easily count them too which you can’t do in a bag.

You make an awesome point that flew right over my head when I arranged that. I know there are 22 zip ties of each color left. Was originally 25 of each color, but I took 2 of each color for our vehicle, and took 1 of each color to zip the rest onto.

I don't often need zip ties, so usually I don't think much on counting zip ties, but that can be very useful if your day job is running Ethernet cables or whatnot..

Countability for the win! 👍
