I have used up many lengths and widths of these One-Wrap straps over the years, and it is not because these straps break or get lost, but because I just keep finding more and more uses for this. Velcro straps previously came with separate hook-only and loop-only straps. These One-Wrap straps have the hooks on one side and the loops on the other side, and are optimized for bundling/wrapping purposes while still being easily flipped around for closure if you are routing these straps in more intricate arrangements. So you do not need to keep separate hook-only and loop-only straps. These straps are very durable, even after years of use. They do not tear, stretch, or fray at the edges, and both the hook and loop sides remain very sticky to each other after repeatedly attaching and detaching over the span of several years. These One-Wrap straps are my favorite brand and style of Velcro strap. Velcro also makes Cinch Straps that have plastic buckles so they are easier to cinch tightly, and while they have their uses too, the Cinch Straps are more expensive, cannot have their lengths precisely cut to a specific length, and really do not perform any better than these cut-it-yourself One-Wrap straps unless you really do need something tightly cinched together. So while I have several of the Velcro Cinch Straps, the bulk of my Velcro applications come from using these One-Wrap straps and the adhesive-backed Industrial Strength Velcro Tape. The Industrial Strength Velcro Tape is great for both indoor and outdoor mounting of objects that need to be removable. These One-Wrap straps also work great when used in conjunction with the Velcro Tape to serve as removable fasteners: stick either the hook or loop side of the Industrial Strength Velcro Tape on a surface, wrap the object that is to be secured/fastened with this Velcro One-Wrap, and attach the One-Wrap to the Velcro Tape. Here are just a few of the many ways that I have used this Velcro One-Wrap: ❋ Electric cords, extension cords, computer cables, garden hoses, Christmas tree lights, and other rope-like objects stay much more organized and untangled with a few sections of One-Wrap wrapped around them. ❋ When transporting bicycles on racks, I use these to prevent the wheels, pedals, and handlebars from moving around. I sometimes use bungee cords for these functions, but bungee cords sometimes cannot be looped around the handlebars to remain taut. ❋ I keep a small roll of One-Wrap in my hiking backpack, and it has various uses during hiking and camping. ❋ These One-Wrap straps are great for wrapping around rolled-up sleeping bags, sleeping mats, and yoga mats. ❋ I keep a small roll of One-Wrap in my photography backpack. I also used Velcro to create a tripod holder for my camera holster bag, which was not designed to hold a tripod. I attached two rectangles of Velcro Tape on the straight side of the camera holster bag, and then I wrapped one layer of this Velcro One-Wrap around the middle of the folded-up travel-sized compact tripod and another layer of One-Wrap is wrapped near the tripod legs. The tripod can then be attached to the Velcro Tape that is stuck to the side of the camera holster bag. I then wrap a third section of One-Wrap tightly around the tripods head and loop that strap through the holsters D-ring where the shoulder strap clips onto. Detaching the tripod from the holster bag is a simple matter of quickly pulling open all three One-Wrap straps, and I can now bring a tripod with my camera holster bag for outings where I do not care to bring the much larger camera backpack with me. I always keep some of this One-Wrap in my toolbox, my hiking backpack, my photography backpack, and in the glove storage compartment of my car. The only limit to how to use this is your imagination :)
