Hey all, amy--
We are not nuts.
Bar-loks do exist.
This website proves it:
http://www.calrf.com/avery.htm
Yes, as listed, they are a BRAND NAME of cable ties..
But show us some respect here.. this is like the Kleenex thing.. no, not all tissues are Kleenex brand.. and it is only a brand.. but if someone says 'hey, do you have a kleenex?' you understand what they want..
i think that if i say 'hey, do you have a bar-lok i could use?' it should be commonly understood that it is a little plastic locking device that i long for..
Us bar-lok fanatics just want a little respect.. we just want to be understood!
And ya know-- andy's right (*everyone ducks*)
BAR-LOK sounds much tougher and robust then cable tie or tie wrap anyday!
