They are great for temporary repairs and problems. 8 inches is my favorite size to stock. Not too long or short and I can easily put 2 or 3 together for bigger items. However, they are not the same as commercial grade cable ties and very much cheaper. We don’t use these zip ties in construction or industrial industries. Secondly, tensile strength is not the same as weight capacity. I strongly recommend - do not use this to hold 50 lbs. Tensile strength is the amount of force it takes to pull at the ends of the cable tie before it breaks. Weight capacity is applied at points along the body of the cable tie. Tensile strength is at the endpoints. Third, this zip tie isn’t built to withstand long-term or indefinite exposure to outdoor weather. Even less durability in extreme weather.
For outdoor use, I expect to replace them every 3-6 months. If I get a year or more I’m satisfied. I purchased them to use at home. While waiting for delivery I started doing a car repair and realized I didn’t have the tool I needed. What to do because at this point, all the screws and car parts are removed so I can do the repair work. Then arrived Amazon with my cable ties. PERFECT! The battery stayed disconnected and I zip tied the car together without screws, bolts, and whatever. When my tool arrives, also by Amazon, 4-5 snips and I’m ready again to repair. I like the size and quality of these zip ties. I can cut them with regular scissors without buying more tools. They arrived packaged in a thin box instead of a plastic bag. Including tax, each zip tie cost about 4 cents, which is pricey. However they are already nicely packaged to keep in different places. 100 might seem like a lot but I used 15 of them in one project. This is a good buy for small quantities and average use.
