Short post, but I just wanted to share some cool storage straps I found recently.
I’ve got a boatload of cords, cables, and hoses in my garage for all kinds of different things. The longer stuff—like extension cords and garden hoses—are a pain in the neck to store.
For long-term storage of these types of things, I generally use big zip ties or just throw them in a box somewhere. When I do organize my cords, cables, and hoses, I still really like my growing assortment of [amazon link=”B00SHBO2Q2″ title=”Gear Ties by Nite Ize” /] (these things are so useful!). They do, however, have their limitations when it comes to hanging heavy garden hoses or long extensions cords.
Recently, I found some nifty elastic bands called [amazon link=”B01MTDK1UI” title=”Wrap-It Storage Straps” /] and I really like them for hanging cords, cables, and hoses neatly on the wall because they have integrated grommets. Ah ha!The Wrap-It straps are made out of weather resistant ballistic nylon and the ~7/16″ grommet out of metal. Velcro is used to secure the strap around whatever it is you’re rolling up, and a handy tab at the bottom of each strap makes for easy undoing. They’re available in a variety of sizes and quantities, too. The big yellow “Wrap-It” logo is a bit too prominent for some but doesn’t bother me.
These things aren’t revolutionary, but they are super-useful for organizing and hanging all of your cords, cables, and hoses in and around your garage or workshop. And while they’re not cheap, they’re reasonable. A [amazon link=”B01NAXFQMS” title=”variety pack of six” /] will run you about $15 and a [amazon link=”B01MTDK1UI” title=”12-pack” /] variety about $30.
You can find [amazon link=”B01MTDK1UI” title=”Wrap-It Storage Straps on Amazon” /], at Lowes, Walmart or Bed Bath & Beyond, or at WrapItStorage.com.
That’s a wrap! ???? (get it?)
