LPT: If you have a lot of loose zip ties, well cut the head off of one and zip the rest onto that! (lemmy.world)

Makes sense, but not easy to pluck a specific color out with that technique though. I bought the multicolor pack to tag the different wire harness connectors on our 2005 Hyundai, as apparently all their 3 wire connectors fit each other.

I ain't trying to have to pluck specific color zip ties out the side of a bag when my hands are covered in cruddy engine oil and stuff..

No I didn't need a 100 pack, but that was the cheapest multicolor pack of zip ties I could find, just over $3.

    Hey genius, lpt for you: stop buying mixed color bags and then you can... leave them in the bag. Omg. So crazy. Like you keep defaulting to that being the reason you have to do all of this, but if it's so damn important to color code, stop buying the mixed bags. It's the same price to get the unmixed ones and then you don't have to do this ass backwards shit all the time. You're literally causing your own problems and then acting like you solved some great hindrance to society 😂

    Alright, you have a Merry Christmas as well.

    These were literally purchased to color tag unlabeled wiring harnesses in a vehicle, so please ever so kindly fuckoff, I literally needed the colors.
