Zip Tie Belt Holster

thingiverse

I use a lot of zip ties in my work, and having them readily available makes everything run more smoothly. I prefer 8" zip ties and designed this holster to hold two different types of 8" zip ties (I use these: https://www.homedepot.com/p/Gardner-Bender-8-in-Cable-Tie-Black-45-lb-100-Pack-Case-of-10-43-308UVB/301581389) Each section of the holder features two small holes near the top. I utilize these as shown in the photo to pass one zip tie through at the beginning. Then, I load the rest of the zip ties through that loop and secure it as I use them. Each side can hold approximately 100 zip ties before they are fully loaded; I simply cut the first zip tie and reload once finished. That initial zip tie ensures that even when the holder is inverted, the zip ties remain in place. Don't forget to tighten those loops as you go through your supply. I would appreciate any suggestions on how to improve this design.
