Tried the 12-inch zip ties on a drop ceiling run in Denver and I'm never buying the small ones again
Switched to the big ones after a job in Denver where I had 30 runs to bundle in a tight plenum and the little ties kept snapping. It cost me $4 more per bag but I finished the run in half the time with no do-overs. Who else uses oversized ties on their commercial work or am I just late to this?

Did you notice the price gap gets smaller the more you buy? I used to grab the small ones every time because that's just what was always in the truck, and I figured bigger ties were for weird oversized stuff only. Then a guy on my crew handed me a 12 inch on a bundle and I rolled my eyes, but it held way better and I stopped fighting with ties that pop when you cinch them down. Now I keep both sizes but the big ones come out first on anything with real weight. Took me way too long to admit the cheap ones were costing me more in redo time than I saved at the counter.
