Bungee Cord Ball Loops
If you expand the photo, you can get a better look at the bundle of Bungee Cord Ball Loops located at the upper left in the photo, that are 9" in length with a 3/4" ball, and they have to be the handiest thing you may ever use.
I have been using them for more than a year, and there is no end to what you can use them for. In the photo you can see the various lengths of coax and power cables bundled up and held together with these 9" ball loops.
They are also being used in various places throughout the cargo bay of my mobile, keeping things neat and yet readily accessible when required.
I use straight bungees all the time, keeping things fastened down, as you don't want stuff moving about, or flying through the interior, especially when I have the mid-gate open, allowing my tri-band log-periodic that is 7' in length to extend into the area behind the seats. These loop bungees are extremely versatile, and hold things together like nothing else.
I also use then with my photography light and umbrella stands that store in cordora bags, and normally the light stands flop around inside the storage bags. Now I take two or three of the loop bungees, and loop them in place around the bag pulling everything up nice and tight.
I also use them to keep my metal detector bundled up nice and tight within its storage bag.
I have a bunch in use on my manpack, keeping antenna parts like the mast segments and whip assembly fastened in place to the pack frame.
The list goes on as to what I have found use for them, and their usage is only limited by what you can dream up to use them for.
Now I'm sure they are available everywhere, however in the Calgary area, I found them at Princess Auto, and the best part is the price. as they come 25 in a bundle for 5 bucks!
I have had some in continual use for over a year without one failure, and they hold things together like nothing else!
