Thomas & Betts Ty-Raps are way superior to anything you find at Home Depot or Lowes. They cost more but are made in the USA and wont let you down. make sure to buy the black ones with the UV protection. The white ones won't last in the sun.
I am guilty of buying the cheap HF ones. I always figured a zip tie is a zip tie. But I guess it's like anything, if you buy junk then that's what you get. I will look into the Thomas & Betts. Thanks for the tip.
