Title: zipties..where do you find'em?
Post by: Chad817 on July 22, 2005, 02:07:07 AM

probably a stupid question, but where do you guys find these things?  I scoured walmart today and couldn't find them.  Staff was no help as usual.  I figure I can go to a hobby shop, but walmart is closer and I'm hoping I just missed them somewhere.

on the plus side I did score a nice bag with tons of space and pockets, and plate rack which fits perfectly inside for 27 bucks!

Those big places on confuse the shit outta me.  I get lost.
I'd go to Ace.  You can get small bags of 10 in various sizes.  Or, like mentioned above, you can get the canisters with 1000.

best place for anything like this (or hardware in general if your mechanicaly inclined) in my experience has to be harbor freight.  check out www.harborfreight.com
