1151860 2010-11-10 07:08:00 I am planning on tidying up all the cables under my floor & have seen some cable clips that seem to be metal cable ties that you can nail to the floor joists, but I can't work out what they are called & where to get them Greven (91)

If you know of anything easier, I would be interested. No point making the job harder than it has to be

Pin Clips are not hard to attach, 1 nail and bend them over to secure the cables.

1151868 2010-11-12 02:05:00 I like these (www.pcgonmad.co.uk), no idea where to get them or exactly what they are called though, I know they come in different sizes. wratterus (105)
1151869 2010-11-12 03:43:00 I use these suckers (curbly_uploads_production.s3.amazonaws.com) just staple or nail to floor, insert cables and zip, just don't do them too tight, else they are bloody hard to get off should you need to add more cables or take wires out.

Good thing is, they are cheap, you can get packs of 100 or so for (i think) about $10
