Rant: My old boss swore by zip ties for everything, but I switched to Velcro straps last month.

I was on a rewire job in a cramped apartment attic, and wrestling with zip ties to bundle a new drop just shredded my forearms. Grabbed a roll of hook-and-loop straps from my truck instead, and the whole run was done in half the time with no cuts. Do you guys have a go-to for clean, fast cable bundling in tight spots?

Velcro straps are the move for tight spaces (no more battle scars). I keep a few different widths in my bag for random jobs.

Totally agree with @miles_perez on this. I switched to velcro straps a while back and my hands look way better now. They just make everything easier in those cramped spots.
