    Cable Cuff

    My last trip to HD, ran across these handy reusable clamps for cords. There's a variety of sizes, and they are really cool to use.

    If there's been a thread about them, sorry about repeating. Thought I would share my find.

    I like them too, they work well.

          Yep, I use them, too. I have tried some of the cheap cord reels that HD sells, but those are more frustrating to use than just simply coiling and "cuffing".

              They are very handy. Been using them for years here. I buy a small one every time I buy a new corded tool. I bought 3 today. The HD I shop at has the smaller ones for power tools on the same isle as the extension cords, telephone wire, conduit, etc. The larger ones for hoses & the like are one the same isle as the rope & chain. It's better to ask an employee IMHO.

                HD/Ask/Employee? Have you been off your meds again?

                I picked up one a while back to secure a fan cord. Keep meaning to get more. One of those 'gimmicks' that works.

                  Have about a dozen of them in various sizes. They work great. Only problem is remembering where I put them when using the device they were on.

                    Other than where Iceman reported, the HD I found them they were in a divided box toward the end of the tool isle, 'bout waist high, kinda hangin' out towards the isle. There were a couple of sizes.

                        I got a couple of those in my stocking at Christmas a few years ago and haven't been able to find them since. They work so much better than the velcro straps I have on my tools now.

                          As much as I dislike Wally World, you can find them there also in the home improvement department. I've been thinking of getting some of the very small ones to tame that nest of wires behind my computer desk.

                            I use the smallish ones to corral the block heater cords on our cars.

                              Lee Valley sells them too.

                              I got a few of the holiday sets a few years ago, the assortment is good for computer cables and small extension cords. A nice addon for your next order. I also have a few larger ones that I got at HD. I don't know how the price compares.
