2 Pack 328 Feet (Total 200 m) Twist Tie Multi-Function Garden Plant Wire Ties with Cutter/Cable Tie/Zip Tie/Coated Wire for Gardening, Home, Office

Bought in hopes this would also work out for making safety mask nose pieces. It is too small a wire to hold it's position or bend well. So I did several DIY approaches including twisting two then three pieces together to give it more substance. The twisted versions not so great either. So then I attempted to chain it kind of like a slip knot chain chrochet work builds from. Anway that just wouldn't work after a few slipknots it would knot up on itself or kink. So next I cut 3 equal a little over 7" long pieces and twisted one end together and braided down the three. And voila it almost works...could use in a pinch. I think I prefer looking for something with a lot less work involved. Now that was the failure so to speak...but as a decent quality wire to use in the garden field it is a fine product. Think of the twist ties with less plastic fabric around them. This has a narrow expression of plastic coating but still twist ties well enough. We used to save plastic twist ties off any and all products and safe the garbage bag ones for use in garden to tie across a 7 to 8 foot high small fenced garden to protect mainly from deer...but the crows love to cut the leaves off tender bean plants just planted and other vegi garden plants even pulling them up sometimes right out of the ground within a day or two of planting. They wouldn't eat them just wanted something to do it appears. So ruining our garden was fun for them not so much for us. I told my husband I would run deer netting the thicker or medium thick variety which is 7 feet wide on rolls of 100 feet across the very top of the fences to be removed later when plants are established. So first year I did it on my own and I think second year too because my hubby is MR. NEGATIVE...has to see to believe. Now it's an annual event to put up and remove. We save the rolls of netting marked end, middle and far end or approx 21 feet. We can cover the entire smaller garden that is the crow's favorite haunt so to speak to do damage. We have three other gardens including a much larger main area that they do not bother nearly as much. So twist ties were the go to item for holding it in place and easy to untwist and remove. Trouble is after numerous years we seem to run out of twist ties. Even though I did save them from year to year always some get lost. So this is ideal for replacing the twist ties and no more having to steal from the box of garbage bags or bread bags etc. Or save off products to get enough to use. So this should last us a good long while. I tried out the cutter and it works well enough not sure how it will hold up over time but not a problem if it doesn't here. We both have small to large wire cutters in our arsenal of tools and gadgets. I had hopes it would work for the masks but as life goes you can't ahve everything all the time. I have floral wire which people say you can use. I have 22 gauge and thought this might be a little more protected in the plastic coating as well as nearly as stiff. No on both accounts. Ok more protected but too pliable so it doesn't hold it's bend well enough to stay in place over the nose etc. Gets to loose almost right away. The braided version wasn't too bad but I also found it difficult to fold in the center metal wire from not working its way out to poke a person even through the fabric casing it would be inserted in. So off to search more for better solutions. The reason I even considered this was it was shipped directly in the states no waiting on goods from China etc. For that same reason I am making a mask version with ties that I also make myself. As long as I have quality super stretchy fabric to make simple strips out of for ties I'll use that up and then after that is gone I'll make my own bias style tape which does not need to be cut on the bias for these projects but works as well as commercial made bias tapes. So off to work I go...And by the way YES it gets a good rating because it's made for what it well be good at. It is not made for what I hoped might work out. No stars off for my wishes here it is what it says it is.

These are great for tying up tall plants and the best thing about them is that they don't tangle, right down to the end.

Use a carabineer to hook to belt loop for ease of use wherever you are!

Great for plants.

Wrote the wrong review earlier. The product itself is great - love this stuff. Used it on over 100 Cannabis plants for LST and it is so much easier to use then string or anything else i've found.Rolls are easy to place and rig something up for easy unroll. Cutter on the package works pretty well most the time - sometimes you get one that does quiet sit right and you have to find the sweet spot that day. But, not really that big of an annoyance.Material itself holds up under constant UV/IR/water exposure from a full year of exposure with little break down in the material. Coloring has faded to a lite green, oh darn... I have not had any major problems with the plastic becoming brittle or flaking off - a little has occurred, but not enough for me to throw a fuss about. Over all the product has held up beyond expectations.I would strongly recommend if you are LSTing or doing any form of plant control that you look into getting at least a roll of this stuff and giving it a try,

It's a twist tie like from a bag of bread or something but you can make it as short or long as you want

The size of the wire wasn't what I expected, it works okay for now but not sure about down the road. Also on the side of the spool there is what appears to be a cutting device may be the operator or may not be a cutter at all, IDK. On the plus side there is a lot of wire so you can double it up. Price was good and arrived which is something in this day and time.

Very strong
