\"geartie\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I bought some reusable wire ties from MicroCenter (GearTie was the brand i bought:\u00a0http:\/\/www.ebay.com\/itm\/GEARTIE-REUSABLE-rubber-twist-tie-\/131065447831?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item1e841c0597<\/a>)\u00a0and cleaned up my cabling quite a bit. In retrospect, it was not very inexpensive and i was thinking there had to be a better alternative. Today on Lifehacker i ran across a DIY showing how to make your own reusable wire ties and i thought i would share.<\/p>\n

I will post some pictures once i make mine, i went with the Acid purple paracord, since i thought it was different. You can buy a large number of colors from that vendor. I will keep some of these in my toolbox and some will get used in my entertainment center.<\/p>\n
