Genius!!!

This will solve a lot of my problems in my store room.

And I can quickly amass a stock of these things ... through some well placed enquiries to a couple of classes ... :erm:

That is pretty neat, but I don't like giving cables such sharp bends.

At our church we use releasable cable ties to bind our cables that we then store in a cupboard.

May take some more time and effort but why not take 2 rolls, cut them so lay can be laid flat, then
round them in on each other and adjust for just the correct diameter, then cellotape/staple.

At the end of the paperwork and a job well done... you now have a toilet roll tube. Awesome

My GF did this after seeing it somewhere and it saves alot of hassle with cables in drawers. Aslong as you put them back where you found them of course

Bend radius on that is fine.

Was that a deliberate pun there

Tying them up with some cable ties is much worse.

Velcro also works wonders

Why would you say that?

Our releasable cable ties are pretty thick, so you really have to pull it very tightly before you can damage the cable.

I'll get some photos on Wednesday evening to show you how we've done all our 5-20m XLR/Speakon cables, that we have to unpack every time.

Velcro also works wonders

Yes! velcro straps would've also worked, but I couldn't find it for as cheap as the releasable cable ties.

didn't even know you got such a thing, but that could definitely come in handy

I'm buying my releasable cable ties from Cape Agrimark for like R20 for a pack of 10.
Here's a link to it: http://agrilog.kaapagri.co.za/product-details.php?product=676

The only issues I've had with the releasable cable ties were:
1) you struggle to release it if someone pulled it too tightly
2) people by mistake use other non-releasable cable ties, because they don't notice the difference

Cool, I must keep an eye out. How often can you use them before they give in?

Great idea thisa,
Velcro cable ties on eBay, naturally with free shipping from our friends in China

Great idea. I saw a bunch of these pics. Wish I still had it!
