Talk:Cable tie

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] String of pearls

What is the name of the tie that is a string of round beads? When adjusting, lift the string to a wide part of the eye so the beads pass through easily. When in position, let a bead relax into the narrow part of the eye so the bead catches and no longer slips. Not as strong and usually not as tight as these flat cable ties, but more easily reusable.

It can be known as Ball Chain or Bead Chain. I'm sure there are other names for it as well, but most people know what you are talking about when you mention either. PMHauge (talk) 13:54, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
