5 Reasons Pros Stopped Buying Zip Ties By The Bag
Cord-Tie is a reusable strap that stays attached to the cord — so it's already there the next time you coil, hang, bundle, or haul. No cutting. No hunting. No bag of plastic rattling around the truck.

Cord-Tie vs. What's In Your Truck Now
Zip ties, velcro straps, and a roll of tape all solve the problem once. Then you're back at square one.

Why crews switch
The 5 Reasons
01
Always on hand
It's Already On The Cord When You Need It
Anchor Cord-Tie through the lower head slot once and it stays there — through the gang box, the trailer, the truck bed, the whole job. Wrap it, release it, wrap it again. You stop walking back to the van for a tie you already used and threw away.
The 30 seconds you lose looking for a tie, ten times a day, five days a week — that's the real cost.
02
Stop the bleed
You're Throwing 8¢ In The Dirt Every Wrap
A zip tie costs about $0.08 per use because every use is the last one. A 20" Cord-Tie works out to $0.00275 per use across its life — 29× cheaper. Multiply that by a crew, a fleet, and a year of jobs.
"I run three service trucks. Used to go through bags of zip ties every month. Haven't bought any since we switched to Cord-Tie."

Jobsite-tough
Rain, Dust, Oil, 100° And Freezing — It Doesn't Care
Custom-engineered TPE that's UV-stable, water-resistant, stays flexible in freezing temps, and shrugs off most oils, grease and mild solvents. Field-tested outdoors through all four seasons.
And unlike hook-and-loop straps, the smooth surface won't pack with grit or concrete dust. Wipe it with a rag and get back to work.
"Didn't think they'd last but we worked a week in rain and concrete dust and they're still on the cords."

Color-Code It And End The "Whose Cord Is This" Argument
Cord-Tie grips firmly without crushing or kinking the cords and hoses you're trying to protect, and it's non-conductive around power. Assign a color per trade or per truck and your gear sorts itself at the end of the day.
Bonus: loose cords and hoses are one of the most avoidable trip hazards on a live floor. Coiled and hung gear is a cleaner walkthrough.
"We use yellow for electrical and black for plumbing. No more arguing over cords."

It Does More Than Cords — And It's On Us If It Doesn't
Three sizes cover the whole truck. Crews also run it on conduit bundles, temp light strings, hose reels, ladder and hand-tool storage, and the rigged fixes the fastener aisle doesn't sell.

Pro FAQ
Will it fit the cords and hoses we actually use?
The 20" handles most 12–14 gauge extension cords, power-tool leads and temp-light runs. The 32" is built for larger coils like air hoses and 10-gauge cord. The 12" is for tool cords, chargers and AV cables.
Will it snag dust and grit like velcro does?
No. The smooth polymer surface doesn't collect concrete dust or grit, and it wipes clean with a rag.
Oil, grease, solvents?
Resistant to most oils, grease and mild solvents found on industrial and construction sites. It won't absorb fluids or break down like fabric straps.
Will it stay on when cords get thrown in a truck bed?
That's exactly what it's made for. Install it once and it stays on the cord through gang boxes, trailers and truck beds — so you're never hunting for a loose tie.
What's it made of?
A custom-engineered thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) — the stretch of rubber with the strength of plastic. Weather- and UV-resistant, non-conductive, and free of BPA, phthalates and latex.
What's the return policy?
30 days, no questions asked, full refund. Plus a 2-year warranty on every strap.
