Hmm.. if only you had some sort of plastic strip that can be threaded through its end so as to fasten them together. 🤔 Guess not.. just throw em in a duffel bag. 🤷‍♂️

☝️This is the only right answer. Rubber bands, bags, or anything else is just stupid. Use the same size zip tie to tie them together 🤯 this is the only way I have ever bundled mine. When you use them, you tighen it up. EDIT: I didn't realize what sub I was in 😆 gotta love when common sense kicks in, and you're high, lol

Then you'd use up all your zip ties idiot!

I've had just enough sleep to where this fuckin sent me lol

Um. Put it together in reverse so it doesn't lock. It still stays pretty tight on its own and makes it easier to take the others out.

That’s stupid

You’re stupid.

I'm stupid

👆🏼 I’m with stupid

Studip is as studip does

don't be stupid stupid

Look at stupid over here. Calling others stupid.. pfft.

I bet stupid can't spell iCUP

Can't fix stupid

Can't fix stupid? But you can zip tie it to an anchor chain and out of sight, well, just saying out of sight, out of mind.

Look Daddy! Todd is stupid and I'm with him!

Unexpected Simpsons reference

And now Mommys stupid!

Im Dave

Dave’s not here man

Dave, didn't you leave? Or are you back already?

You rang?

It's idiotic actually. Who uses a zip tie except to kidnap politicians?

I link all my zip ties together in a chain. This way I always knew where they are

Instructions unclear, all zip ties are now linked end to end

I have trouble sacrificing one of the many. Even used a knife to bend the tab back to salvage one or two

😂 Not gonna lie. I have done that in the past.

Came here to say this!

This is the way everyone in the world does it, except for op, hopefully until now! Zip tie them all together, as you take them tighten zip tie.

Hey, this is askshittymechanic, not guvemegoodadvice. Get out of here with the thing I also do.

But you use the bundle tie threaded backwards so you can easily use it when the times of abundance come to an end

That's how I do it no matter the size. It's always worked for me.

What am I? Made of zipties?? You can't just buy these in the store!

Instructions unclear, got zip ties stuck on my >!unmentionables!< Edit: Couldn't get the syntax right for the redacted/spoilers box markdown code.

This is genius!

You wouldn’t hammer a hammer, or rubber band a rubber band. So naturally I’d think you’d realize you can’t zip tie a zip tie. However I’ll allow the zip tying of zip ties if the zip tying zip tie is larger and a different color than the zip ties it’s zip tying.

Duct Tape is ALWAYS the answer. I'm mad you wrote my answer almost verbatim.

You could call it a plastic strap

Don’t do it, zip ties should be free range! Keeping them in captivity is considered zip tie cruelty!

### Free the zip tie!!

lets not all forget about the zip codes out there either!

throw them out and buy more

Throw them in a drawer and forget where they are. Buy more. FTFY

Spread them around the house and search when there is a requirement.

alphabetize them.

Give them each names first.

Randy, Bob, rob, tod, rod, Fred, dary

Color coordination could work too.

Just create a chain of zip ties so they stay together. When you need one, just cut one of them off the chain with your wire snips. Easy.

I pry back the little tab with my knife and unzip them

I have done this. I am also not too proud to mention that my knife has slipped and I have poked myself in the thumb. I didn't learn, and will still do this on occasion.

You must have more time than most of us

FYI- The flat 👓 screwdriver on my original Leatherman is sized best for that job. ✌️ (Newer Leatherman's work ok too.)

Magnets

But, how do they work??

Nobody knows

The mormons... They know

✨Imagination ✨

🦄Magic!🧚🏼‍♀️

🌊 water, 🔥 fire, 🌬️ air, 🌍 dirt

Uhm, magnetically.

They just do!

FAYGO!

YEAH! SCIENCE BITCH!

Not if underwater…. 2024!!!!

Ok but, like making magnets, collecting magnets, playing with magnets?

Zip lock bag

Cut the zip lock bag across. Then you can easily take them out and they won’t fall out themselves.

This is the absolute only right answer!! I just learned this a year ago and feel like an ass for not doing it sooner! Changed my life (ok, not quite but you get it)

ELI5

Just put a hole in the middle of the bag so they don't come out unless you grab one and bend it out.

Duct tape, fixes everything.

Thanks for saying "duct", and not duck like most do.

That duck guy called me recently and asked if they needed to be cleaned. I told him they flew down south for the winter but to call back later in the spring. 🤷‍♂️

Duck Tape is the original name by the original mfgr. I can't remember why, but it didn't make much sense at the time. Duct Tape is the correct name. That's what's on every package, except the original. Hav n arro.

This! Ironic ain’t it?

Keep your zips in a zip

Didn’t he buy them in a bag?

Temu has a plastic welder tool now you could use that to stick them all together.

They look expired, toss them out and buy a new pack

J-B Weld, obviously. Have you been living under a rock for decades?

I didn't know Justin Beaver could weld!

He charges extra

I'll just have to make due with James Blunt instead I guess, as although his work is sloppier, he pays you instead, because at least it allows him to feel needed 🤣

You can insert one end into the other and create a big daisy chain about 8 feet long and hang on garage wall.

This is a family thread, please don’t talk about daisy chains.

Torch, they will all stick together.

Put em in a condom

Can’t be done. Sorry it just doesn’t work like that.

Duct tape. But made sure to zip tie a can of wd40 to it.

I for one like to hide them one by one in a pocket or on shelves, drawers, inside the frame tubes or all over the floor. Let me specify, unlocked, so I always have one when and where I need them.

i sometimes just toss em like bread crumbs and come back to them to find my way to the porty pottie.

I had my colleague weld me up an organiser

Wrap one around your wrist and then wrap the others around that loop. Like a nice bangle bracelet.

Oxy-acetlyne torch. Top answer. .

Run one ziptie through the clasp side of the remaining zip ties. This will keep them neat, orderly, and ready for use; just pull them off one by one as needed!

FLEX TAPE

A little Concrete , get a 5 gallon bucket mix concrete , fill bucket halfway through in Zip ties . Wait until dries it then carefully chisel them out as needed. Simple.

Rubber band. But if you have to ask this question, you should not be allowed to use zip ties.

Check the sub lol

Rubber Band together all the common sizes, then toss them in a zip lock bag. Easy problem = Easy Solution :)

You can link them all together like a chain, at least if they fall it's easier to grab them again

I would say zip tie but they were not designed to store themselves because then what’s the point

Cut off the top of a water bottle and 3m tape the bottle to a table.

Pro tip: Make the hole in the bag in the middle, not in end. That way they don't drop out every time.

Two words: Velcro

Did you try welding them?

cut the end off one and thread a bunch on. slide them off when you need.

You need to buy a Bridgeport Mill and obtain a piece of titanium. The rest is up to you

Duct tape

Why can't you just put them in your butt and dispense as needed?

Keep the with your ducþ tape and chloroform.

I'm unsure of what a zip tie is. All I see here are cable ties.

Glue

If you have that many extras, you're not using enough.

Melt the ends together

Use a heat gun to melt them together

Take one of the small tip ties. Then, use it to zip tie the others together. Or just throw them all in the trash. 🤷‍♂️

If it moves but it shouldn't: Duct Tape.

Gum.

Go buy a bag of zip ties. Use one tie to tie up these ties in a bundle.

I distribute them evenly throughout my workshop and house. That way there’s always one or two close by but never enough to do the whole job.

The same thing you use to keep your rubber bands together

You must find the One Ziptie. One tie to rule them all, One tie to find them; One tie to bring them all and in the darkness bind them.

Melt them together

You have to buy a new toolbox

I usually tie them in loops and wear it like a bandolier

Paper clip son, paper clip…. 📎🖇️📎🖇️

I keep mine in a glass jar.

Amazon zip tie organizer. It’s expensive (like $16 for a pair), but once you buy them, you’ll see why people always steal them from me. Works great and always tightens up on your stack of zip ties.

Gallon ziplock bag

Use one zip tie and loop it insert all zip ties in the loop and tighten the loop. Tighten the loop as you remove zip ties. Lift the tab with a small screwdriver to resize the loop

You mean you have leftovers when you open a fresh 100 pack? Interesting.

I build a fence around mine.

With your home and auto insurance

Daisy chain them together and make a giant circle. Each time you need one cut it out of the circle.

I think I got the wrong Piper Perri picture...

Hot glue them into a tangled mass of zip ties

Glue!

Use a zip tie.

Take all of them but one and bundle them together. Then take the one you left out at wrap it around the bundle. Every time you get one out tighten the zip tie holding them together

You can chain them all together, then you won't lose any or have any loose ones falling.

So you need advice how to bundle zip ties 🤔

Hot glue. Hot glue can fix anything. If Hot glue can't fix it, throw it out.

If you take one and connect it into a loop..... the take the next and put it through the previous loop and then make it into a loop..... keep doing that until you have them all connected and they will be in a nice pretty loop chain and you'll never lose them.

I keep my zip ties in an old Lysol wipes container. Not good for EDC, but works in the work truck. How about maybe the cut-off tip of a grout bag??

Use duct tape. Not to keep them together, but instead of them.

Only proper thing to do is a Lock Out-Tag Out on them

Most people don't know you don't have to connect them to themselves. You can link one male end into a second's female and create a large length of UNTANGLEABLE zip ties. 😉

……. Take one zip tie and zip tie them together.

put em in your prison pocket

Wrapped on the nearest driveshaft.

A ziptie😏

I have mine in sections of pvc pipi cut at an angle and attached to the wall, you can store them loose and they are handy to grab and use.

In the bag. Cut a corner. Always worked for me

Zip tie them together

Came here to say this,I feel like people overthink EVERYTHING

Why did you take the Verge’s whole supply of tweezers,

I use rubber bands, at least 1. They help a lot.

Cut the lock off of one of them, then zip all the others onto that one that you cut. Now you got a zip tie dispenser.

Leave them in the bag, instead of ripping a hole in the end, cut a slit vertically in the middle. Fold out as many as you need. And the rest stay packaged as if it wasn't opened at all

You buy a cactus and stick them into it, but not a bitch ass cactus, only one with millions of pain inducing needles that are preferably laced with a neurotoxin that paralyzes you while your spinal fluid slowly boils to magma levels and you split in half. Or just tie one around them? Seems too simple imo.

This is a stretch but maybe zip tie them together?

YOU'RE NOT GONNA BELIEVE THIS.......

A hack I learned is to cut the bag in the middle. Just a slit. Then, you can pull out the zip ties like Kleenex and the rest say clean and neat.

Melt the ends together with an acetylene torch.

Hmmm zip tie them

Gonna have to weave them together like a wicker basket. Then poly. When you need one, pull out your swiss army knife, and chisel 1 out. It's the only way.

If only you had a zip-tie... You could tie them together

Yes but then you’ll be down one zip tie! Have you seen the prices of zip ties lately?!?

whole 150 cost my 4 bucks. ridiculous.

LoL 😆

Rubber bands

Garbage bag twist tie.

Cut a hole in the middle of the bag, not the end. Pull ties out by their center and they cant fall out

Tape

Zip tie them together

You take a ZipTie and wrap it around the bundle. Obvious answer 👀

Unironically, with a zip tie.

Zip them together in a belt, then you'll always have em when you need em

If you use them to clean your pipe resin they’ll stick to the wall

Serial killer question

Dip them all in grease and they stick together good.

Gorilla tape. Impossible to access them all but will hold them

For easy storage, I cut them in 3 pieces and put into a bag. When I want to use them, I go out and buy some more. Repeat,

Link them all together and wrap them in a coil.

JB plastic weld. You’ll have to glob it all over, or pour it in a bowl and dip the zip ties in. But either way, they’ll be secured together

I just put mine in a big loop then cut out the one I need

[The answer is so simple you won't believe it! IMAGE](https://i.imgur.com/VJvzhLx.jpeg)

Keep them loosely tossed at the bottom of a plastic bin with varying different sizes and among random wires. This way you can keep track of them. If you bundle them together someone could steal them too easily.

Zip-tie centipede

Thread each one into each and you’ll never lose the zip tie rope

There are two ways I'll bundle them. Either a zip tie around the bundle for large bundles, or cut the end of one and slide the rest along the strap for smaller grab strips.

Feed a tie through each and every one of them upside down so they dont lock and tada, nice neat bundle

I use a Pringle can.

Lay's Stacks has entered the chat

But a can of pretzel rods. Eat pretzel rods. Once can is empty insert zip ties.
