          Yeah agreed… Now the cable takes up space in all three directions, where as if you just use a good old cable tie, it will mostly take up space in one direction…

          I could see some point in using it to bundle up a bunch of cables under a table, so they are in one nice bundle and you can’t easily open the clip and take out one of the cables, but not for storage.

            This is actually already a commercial product. I just ripped off the idea slightly, and since the result wound up looking a bit superficially draconic, I decided the hell with it and went all the way.

            They are boss for things that must travel with their cords for whatever reason. I use them extensively for power tool cords, for instance, and you never have enough of the damn things around when you need them. They’re also significantly less irritating than velcro cable wraps.

              I suggest changing your cover photo to include a large power tool, instead of a tiny USB cable.
