Hit 100 zip tie repairs this month and I had to stop and count

Honestly, I was just messing around in the garage fixing an old shop light that kept flickering. I used a zip tie to hold the ballast in place instead of buying a new bracket. Then I started thinking about all the other things I've fixed with those things this month. Turns out I used 100 zip ties on everything from a broken drawer slide to a loose exhaust heat shield on my truck. Has anyone else ever kept a running count on a specific cheap fix they use all the time?

Just grab a box of 100 packs off Amazon, they're cheap enough to stockpile.

Amazon's been hit or miss lately with their shipping. I'd rather spend a little more at a local store and actually get the full box. Those cheap deals ain't worth the headache when half the packs show up crushed.

@felix824 clearly hasn't had a package show up looking like a toddler played soccer with it. Half those 100 packs will be busted open or missing by the time they get here.
