Those people are not to be associated with by decent folk.

Well, for one thing, the long end isn't as sharp as a cut end. I've snagged a finger pretty good on those sharp cutoff ends more than once when reaching into an area where I couldn't see real well.

I've also been able to use a small screwdriver to release tywraps and use them again. Can't do that with a cutoff nubbed one.

I have banned zipties from my home all together.

To cut, or not to cut. That is always the question.

I cut for aesthetic reasons, or clearance/functional reasons. If you don't care how it looks, and don't need it trimmed, why bother? Like Diggin said, I have also cut my hands more than once on cut zip ties, which isn't fun.

Anybody tried stainless steel zip ties?
