I have carried zip ties in my tool box this way at least 30 years. From bag to donor tie and in the tray.
Had helper last summer (23 yrs) who I asked to go to the truck and grab a clip for a couple ties. 30 minutes later found him trying to back one off, I showed how to clip the end remove, he said wow, never would have... And I believed him.
Thanks for sharing, it is a good idea, I was shown it by refrigerator tech at a ice cream plant, he used large ties for coolant wraps.
