Your not alone, and the bad thing is most of it is subconsciously lol

Another green tragic here... I have four green LED lights in my workshop.  This was a 'poor mans' alternative to a Syslite.  Eventually I relented and bought the 'real thing'.

What does HD call them? I'd like to order some.

I had seen those about a month ago.  There has been a display at the endcaps near the electrical department in several HD I go to.  I too am attracted to that color, but have currently stopped at duct tape and microfiber rags.  Who knows, I need to go to HD today.

Nite Ize Gear Tie. I've been using them a few months for cords/hoses.

I'm guilty too, bought a new air hose last week. My purchase was surly influenced by the color of it!  [embarassed]

Oh  yeah, I thought the ties looked kind a  familiar.  Nite Ize makes some Maglite accessories. The feet and legs on a small light stand are made of that material.

These green wrap ties do look cool when used on the boom arm assembly for tacking together hose and cord combos.

I got some of these, tried them, I like them. 

I see they are available up to 32" long!

Just ordered some 6 inch ones from Amazon UK http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004MMEHLK/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I normally use openable cable ties which are really handy and cheap as chips, but leave an annoying tail hanging out so these ties look great so I can loop them better.

(well thats the lame excuse I am using today to buy Festool green ties...) ;D

Yeah, I have to agree. It's just too much of a pain to cut those annoying cable tie tails off.
(Hey, any excuse that lets you buy more Festool right?)
