We compared two reusable hook and loop cable ties: the ARMIZ 60 x Reusable Cable Ties and the 5m Adjustable Cable Straps with 25 Buckles.
What we looked at
Format, size, how you cut or fasten them, and price.
The verdict
If you want 60 ready-cut ties for the lowest price, the ARMIZ is the pick at £4.99, about 8p each. If you would rather pay £3.00 more for a 5m roll you cut to any length with 25 buckles, the strap roll is the alternative, at £7.99.
A £4.99 pack of 60 black 12 x 150mm hook and loop ties.
A £7.99 5m x 2cm roll with 25 buckles that you cut to length.
