Re: Should Zip Ties (Cable Ties) Have a Warning Label?

I think it's preposterous to put warning labels on zipties. As always, responsible use of tools is imperative in FIRST, and zipties are no different. Needless to say, we've made more than our share of ziptie chains, ziptie art, and ziptie pen rings. However, ziptying your finger and cutting off circulation is a very stupid idea.
Also, ziptie reuse is rather hard in FIRST, since you have to cut your zipties to length. However, for anybody with a fixation for ziptie removal (like me, since I don't like breaking zipties when pulling them apart), use the tip of a knife, or micro screwdriver.
