Zip-tie assortment

Why it's on the list

A light gets mounted and a torn shade corner gets closed in the dark, one-handed. UV-resistant black ties last a week of sun. White kitchen ties give up. Cut the tails flush and pocket them. A tail on the ground is moop.

How we use it

Cut the tails flush and pocket them. A zip-tie tail on the ground is moop, and it is surprisingly good at hiding in dust. Bring a pair of side cutters or a multitool that can snip.

Heads up

They are permanent until you cut them. Don't zip-tie something you need to open every night, like a water jug.
