ACK Electronics on Deering road has an entire shelf of different colours and sizes of zip ties. They have freaking METER LONG, TWO CENTIMETER WIDE zip ties. Thost things could probably be used as spring compressors. they are freaking crazy.

funny ziptie story

i had these 3 foot long zipties when i worked at UPS and i used to walk around with it in a loop. anyway i was walkin through the ups hub and this guy was in front of me sratching his head so i ran up and ziptied his hand to his head. he tried to run after me and he whack his elbow on a truck and gave up.

ehh that was stupid but if you saw it you'd laugh
:lol: :lol: HAAHA! that shit is funny!
