Hey, I’m Donald Bell for Cool Tools, and today I’m going to show you a variation on common zip ties called mount head zip ties. They’ve come in handy for me, and if they’re something you might want you can find a link for them down in the description.

It’s a little ridiculous how many zip ties I use on a weekly basis. I use them for cable management, prototyping, I’m even using one to keep my microphone in place that I’m recording with right now.

Some people reach for duct tape -- I reach for zip ties. But one place they tend to let me down is attaching stuff to walls.

When I’m trying to route a cable across a wall, I’ve typically reached for these plastic cable mount things. They’re not a great solution, they’re more expensive than they should be, and I’ve had these stretch out and fail on me a number of times. Same with these nail-in cable holds.

So, I was excited to find this slightly more expensive kind of zip tie with an extra ring on it called a mount head.

The ring can be used with a drywall screw or a construction nail. They’re typically UV resistant and can stand up to being left outdoors without fading or falling apart.

The ones I see online are often rated for 40-50 lbs -- which seems amazing to me for such a small thing.

They come in different lengths, but if you ever need something longer, you can chain them together. Or, if you’re cheap like me, you can extend it with a less expensive basic zip tie of the same width -- they’re all compatible with each other.

The payoff is, once you have a solution like this, you realize that there’s nothing you can’t mount to a wall. If you can zip-tie it, you can hang it on the wall. It’s liberating.

So grab a pack for yourself. You can find links in the description for a few different options. And remember, you can find thousands of reader recommended tools like these at cool-tools.org.
