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)

Zip tie one around them all, with the heads up, and stick a caribiner around the loop one. Then you can stick it on your belt, with the heads facing up. Just make sure to ratchet it tighter a notch every couple you use.

Eventually I moved on to these

This will go well with my duct tape and chloroform holster

Nice. But I ain't about to buy 4 separate ones at $8.86 each to separate a 100 pack of 4 colors that came out of a mix pack that cost like $3.36 total...

Well no. Thats when you zip tie the ties... but if you're someone who uses a lot of them regularly, for work, the spring loaded ones become pretty useful.
