Finally Able to Tidy Up That Drawer
Over the years, I have accumulated too many cables to count. With each new gadget, I get a new cable. I have multiple chargers, adapters, plugs, and cables of various types, lengths, and brands. I use most of them interchangeably, but I can't seem to throw any of them out, even though I may have seven different micro USB cables and five different mini USB cables. Some work with specific electronics, and some don't. I'm constantly trying them all out, since most aren't marked by brand. Up until recently, I've tried to coil them up the best I could and just cram them all into my "extras" drawer or in a container. When I need one, I have to go in there and pull out this bird's nest of cords and start untangling. Then I do it all over again. I've tried holding them together with rubberbands and tape, with varying degrees of success. While browsing through Amazon, I found this product. It was cheap, and came with a lot of ties, so I gave it a shot. I am extremely glad I did. The package includes eight coils of velcro straps. The strips are perforated at the ends, so it's easy to tear off the end tie while keeping the rest in the coil until you're ready to use the next one. Each tie has a little cut out hole at one end so you can loop it around the cable you want to tie up for safekeeping. That way, when you undo the strap and use the cable, the velcro tie stays on the cable and you don't lose it. The velcro type is passive; it's smoother than, say, the velcro you'd find on clothes. That comes in pretty handy as it doesn't attract as much dust or lint, but still provides more than enough hold to keep the cable wrapped up firmly. When I received this product, I immediately went to work securing all the cables that were floating around in my drawer. Everything is so neat and tidy in there now it's remarkable. It's so much easier to pick out which cable I need and pull that one out, instead of pulling out the whole load and untangling what I need. It also freed up a lot of space in that drawer. It makes taking cables on trips a lot more headache free as well, since everything is packed up nice and neat and won't get loose in my purse or luggage. It makes identifying the right cables a lot easier and organizing a lot faster and efficient. I also use it to tidy up the snakepit of cords I have running behind my entertainment center. And since this package contains 100 ties, I have more than enough left over. This product is perfect for my needs and should be on the shopping list of everyone who owns an abundance of electronics and cables.Ver másVer menos
