I have that zip tie tool also.. I wish I would use it more often.. those SHARP cuts sure will cut you up.. my hands right now have about 15 small cuts from those zip tie ends(from doing the MSD box)... 99% of the ties I use are the black UV ones.. I have bags of zip ties of assorted sizes
If you search a bit they you can find them much cheaper than list price.
I just need to keep that zip tie tool with the zip ties.. that way I would use the tool... I tend to have that tool in my pliers drawer and I just over look it.. when I was doing road trip cars at work I had the tool with all my zip ties and used it all the time.. we would have 100s of zip ties on each one of those cars... I use to buy the zip ties for the lab and I would usually buy 5K at a time of assorted sizes
