Why did you pick this product vs others?:Perfect. Bright red!

Use these for work and they work amazing. The silicone lets the water from valves not let it get ruined but still holds in it place like I need it to.

work fine; I use them for cable control in the Operating Room. Wish I had known of them 20 years ago!

These are inexpensive temporary ties. I would not expect them to last forever but I will use them for hunting ties.

Great for so many things. I use them for extra support with my bike when on my bike rack.

These worked really well. I used them to stiffen up weak arms on a plant light made it possible for me to situate the lights, where I wanted them to be. They could be used in other situations also I believe.

Very strong

First, I want to say that I really like the Nite Ize brand of ties. I had high hopes that these would be a more affordable alternative. However, in comparison, the rubberized coating is much thinner, which makes these ties not as durable as Nite Ize. I also experienced a few of them breaking after just the second use. I have used some of my Nite Ize ties for years before they finally break. Although these are significantly cheaper, this is definitely a case of "You get what you pay for." I recommend saving your money for the Nite Ize ties. While they will eventually wear down, it typically takes a few years.I primarily use these items to secure the hooks of my ratchet straps to trailers. I connect the hook to an attachment on the trailer, then run one of these ties through the eye of the hook, securing it to another point on the trailer. They don’t bear any load; their purpose is to prevent the hook from falling off. This ensures that if the strap comes loose, I won't lose it on the road. Although it takes a little more time to properly secure everything, it’s worth it to know I won’t lose a ratchet strap.I decided to compare these ties to the Nite Ize model. The ties have two wires inside, each measuring 0.95 mm, while the Nite Ize features a single wire that is 1.71 mm thick. In terms of thickness, these ties measure 4.55 mm, while the Nite Ize ties are 6.44 mm thick. The Nite Ize tie shown in the picture is around 7 years old and has been used several times, even though it is damaged to its core. In contrast, the broken blue tie is only a couple of months old and has been used just twice.5-12-25 Update: The seller reached out to me promptly after I posted my review. They were willing to rectify the issues I mentioned and genuinely listened to my feedback. They also plan to work on an improved design. Considering their excellent customer service, I would now give the company a five-star rating. However, I still wouldn't choose to buy this product myself. That said, if you decide to purchase it, the company seems to stand by their product. For that reason, I am increasing my previous rating from one star to two stars.
