Showerthought: I just used my 100th zip tie on a single cable management project

It was for organizing all the wires behind my new home theater setup, and I honestly didn't think I owned that many. Anyone else have a go-to tool they burn through way faster than expected?

How did you even find a hundred zip ties? I buy them in packs of fifty and they seem to vanish into thin air after two projects.

Lol I feel that "vanish into thin air" thing so hard. I started keeping mine in a clear plastic shoe box with a lid, like the kind you get at a dollar store. It sounds dumb but seeing them all in one place stops me from leaving little piles everywhere. Now I just grab the whole box for a project and put it right back after.

Honestly the clear box trick is genius, I do the same with my random screws.
