Tape beats cord, and Flexi beats them all
346396
Flexi is the best lead maker around. The leads are manufactured in Germany, and they come with a lifetime guarantee, although it is doubtful that you will ever need to consider it. Although there are various imitation reel leads, Flexi was first and is still first place.

I have gotten a new Flexi lead for each dog that I have owned, and this is the first time I had to go up to the "large." My puppy is half bird dog and half Rambo, and yet the reel shows no strain or loss of tension with all of her generous efforts to break both it and my shoulder when she detects a rabbit. Corded leads are good for well behaved dogs and dogs in cities, but for a dog that might go over, under, and through brush, the tape style lead is superior for preventing rope burn or tangles on the human.

I can't imagine wasting money on buying a different brand. If I saved anything at the outset, I'd lose it by having to buy two or three in the time that one Flexi lead would last.

Works well; it's the best tape machine I've used, and I've used five total.

Works as well as an audio cable can (for mic to preamp), extremely sturdy, but also easy to flex and move. XLR connectors fit fine in my experience, but I don't need to change them very often since i just use them for a home studio. Color is very nice and I highly recommend no matter what cable you buy, to get colors. It makes things so much easier

These are the very best  flex pins that money can buy. They are very easy to use. The quality of this product is quite evident. I had to replace the cheaply made flex pins I had after a few weeks of use. They fell apart.  I've used these flex pins from Monster Cable for over four months and have had no problems at all. These connectors and wires attached to them remain firmly in place. I highly recommend this product for any home audio/visual system..

Cable is perfect. It has some flex, not rock hard like some other cables. It works! I took protecting caps at each end and then just plugged in and enjoyed the quality sound. The flex allowed me to move the cable around corners.

I'm replacing my media center PC in the great room, so thought I'd get a better surge protector for all the odd shaped adapters.  With 11 things to plug in to this one (all my game controller charger stations use their own power strip with a wireless switch) I wanted something flexible.  This is about the most flexible one I've been able to find.

The pivoting plugs on the sides work very well - and are ideal for things with oversized plugs.  The power cord itself is long enough to reach a decent distance, but they really should have made it a flush to the wall style, so it would fit better in different locations.  This sticks out quite a bit.

The cable management piece at the other end works well, has a nice solid close position, unlike some I've had that would pop open so easily and let the cords work out.

The switch is the only real problem - it works, and I"ve had no problems with it, but it feels like it's on the verge of breaking.  Between the feel and the sound, I don't trust it for long.  Fortunately for me, this strip will be "always on" so it shouldn't be an issue for me.  Just a questionable build quality on it.

Beyond that, for someone with a hub with a lot of oddly shaped power connectors, it's a fantastic design to allow you to fit things easily, in some cases may let you drop from two strips to one if you have a lot of large power plugs on your equipment.

I work with mobile AV production, have had MANY different models of VGA cords, and these are my favorite so far. The cord is strongly built, but with just enough flexibility that I won't call it stiff. The connectors are the perfect size for a snug fit, that I often don't even use the screws. I've seen connectors that are too tight as well as too loose. These are spot on in every application.

I'm really impressed with how well flexible and strong this product is.  It's very easy to twist around single and multiple cords and keep them intact.  It's a bit pricey but looks like it's quite durable and worth the investment.  I plan to buy more.

I got some high end headphones that I wanted to hook up to my tv receiver.  After doing that I needed a long extension cable so that the headphones could be moved easily around my apartment.  This adapter cable is excellent.  It is an inexpensive generic brand of the highest quality that meets if not beats the quality of the more expensive brands.  When I first hooked it up it felt like the sound quality was going in and out and that the cables didn't stay in securely.  Stupid me.  I looked at it more closely and realized that the plugs going into or out of this extension cable need to be pushed in tightly till there is a definite click as it snaps securely into place.  I have honestly never had a cord that held plugs as tightly and securely as this one.  And after doing that the sound quality has never wavered and is consistently excellent.

There is no way that any plug can slip out of this cable however far you walk or move around utilizing the very generous 25 feet of cable.  The sound is awesome and never falters.  I never have to worry with this cable.  I highly recommend this superb quality product.  And just be sure you push your plugs in till securely in place and you will have a superb listening experience.

Though I find this tape slightly bulky, it has great ergonomics and it works exceptionally well.  I have used Stanley tapes for quite a while, and, working in construction, I wanted something tough that would last me for my lifetime. I think I've found it. The tape never fails to retract and the thumb brake works exceptionally wel. Although being well-versed in using my thumb just in front of the opening to stop the tape or hold it open, I've found it unnecessary to use the thumb brake if you're simply measuring a piece of lumber or stock to cut.  This tape has been dropped, thrown in my work bag, etc. countless times and has always come back for more. It's never let me down.  Truly, I think, the best feature is the wire bail-style belt clip. This clip is incredibly strong and never lets the tape fall off my waist even if I'm hanging upside-down or jumping across roof trusses. It also doesn't destroy/rip your pants or belt like other spring steel style tapes.  If they could make this slightly smaller, it would be the be-all, end-all of tapes, in my humble opinion.

You probably know all about this tape --after all, it is the tape standard; it's the one you've probably used your whole life, and one that you purchase without thinking.  So, I'm not going to tell you so much about that, but how it is packaged.

What I like:

Buying in bulk.  I'm not gonna lie -I misplace individual servings of EVERYTHING.  It's nice to be able to buy in bulk and put tape in different places around the house.

The tape case.  Unlike their cheaper brothers, this tape has the solid-fully-enclosed-tape holder, and not the thinner, cheaper tape holder (which only covers one side of the tape) which tends to bend or break when you are tearing at the wrong angle.  It also has two one inch wide really short "legs" which are slightly raised along the bottom of the tape stand which (when stood on its thin end, vertically) allow the tape to stand up very solidly with little danger of falling over.

The tape.  It's very easy to tear, and you can do so with your fingers.  Although it goes on relatively clear, it is NOT really the "Magic" tape that it claims to be -it shouldn't be used for wrapping presents where you really want the tape to disappear completely.  If you want that you should buy the "Scotch Giftwrap Tape" which goes on perfectly clear, doesn't tear as easily, will not peel off at all, and is more expensive.  (THAT tape is what I use when I am giving gifts to those who are not family members! Unfortunately though, the "gift wrapping tape is more limited in its uses, as it is so sticky it will ruin whatever wrapping paper you try to peel the tape off of.  The "magic" tape, however, is less sticky and in some cases can be removed easily -even from wrapping paper- hence its overall verasatility and suitability for everyday use.)

What I didn't like:

Well, I thought that there wasn't enough tape on the rolls.  While Scotch isn't doing you a disservice by shortchanging you, I would have preferred to buy a pack of THREE tape dispensers with twice as much tape in each one.  I don't really need six of them.  I'd rather have three that last twice as long (as these cases are so solid you could probably step on one briefly without it breaking).  And, I don't want to be throwing away plastic that I don't have to.  (You can refill these cases, but I would never need to refill six of them.)

Overall, this is a good deal.  It is packaged really well with little wasted plastic wrapping, and you'll always have enough tape around when you need it.  Recommended.

I love these things!

Medusa's snake-fro looked better than the nest of cords I had bristling on my nightstand. When these arrived, I peeled the paper backing off all six cable clips to expose the 1 millimeter of super-sticky foam on the back of each nubbin (Sorry, gang; for the Daily Deal price, you ain't getting Command adhesive.) After smushing each one as hard as I could for 30 seconds against my alcohol-scrubbed-and-dried nightstand ledge, I let them adhere for 24 hours. I labeled each iPhone, iPad mini, and assorted USB cables for my Kindles and such. Each nubbin has a slot for two cords, so I now have 12 cables within easy reach, with the business end of each cord plugged into a four-sided, six-inch-tall elecrtric outlet/USB tower on the floor, which I also ordered on Amazon. (Some devices require a dedicated electrical outlet charger because they pull more power than the standard one- or two-amp USB  plug-in.) The nubbins hold each cable exactly where you place it, yet it is easy to slip out each one  when needed. The adhesive holds each nubbin to my nightstand tighter than octopus tentacles.

I can truly say these little cable clips live up to the promise on the package: "Used for cables which are not exceeding 6 mm of diameter can be adjusted simple disassembling after use as material is soft. Cable mess will not happen if you have it in hand which will bring you happy feeling."

Order now reigns where chaos once ruled. At least on my nightstand, anyway,

We love technology, but sometimes cords can really be a nuisance. We've picked up several solutions over the years, but this one actually hides them... in one of two neutral colors. It's easy to use and so flexible. Hurrah!

This little cable miraculously improved the sound of my whole stereo system! I am still in shock after over a month from installing it as the interconnect between CD player and preamplifier. I have an "entry level high-end" stereo system w/ good KEF speakers and ADCOM electronics. I've had it for a long time and, regrettably, used the original interconnects that came with my electronics. I held the wrong opinion that the kind of cable shouldn't matter much for sound quality, provided the cable is not too long, and given that voltages are not too small and frequencies not too high. I know that cables are not ideal conductors, that they have parasitic resistances and capacitances, and so they do distort signals, but I had assumed the bottom line difference would be negligible. This wrong theory had additional support in the fact that market exists for cables more expensive than cars, what I have always considered BS, and extremely poor ROI.
A series of events convinced me otherwise. It started with a great experience connecting my Fiio X5 mobile FLAC player to a car's AUX input using another short and thick Monoprice cable. Then I repeated the experience at home to find that Fiio w/ Monoprice cable sounded better than my CD! At first I thought the difference can be attributed to Fiio's more modern and better DAC. Then I bought the reviewed cable as a cheap experiment and I couldn't and still can't believe my ears! Now finally I have the coveted 3D soundstage. Sound gained "precision" (my layman's term) chaning the stereo imaging dramatically. This can be compared to observing the world around either through blurry glasses/binoculars OR sharp and clean ones. On top of all that, the cable is cheap: a Venti Latte at Starbucks would be more expensive :-)
I understand now that interconnects DO make a decisive difference, and that the original cable that came with my ADCOM electronics was intended  to be a throwaway: a mediocre cable just to make things work initially, and be quickly replaced. That the difference can be so big is still a shock to me. And, in all likelihood, you do not need to spend big bucks on "designer" cables. Can't imagine more improvement from where my stereo is at now, but who knows...
Very highly recommended but your mileage my vary based on the rest of your equipment. In my case, the CD to preamp interconnect turned out to be the weakest link bringing the sound of the whole system down.
At this price point, however, it is not an expensive experiment.

I love this. It works well.  It was easy to attach and sync. I love that I am no longer bumping myself on the cord.

It is thick like you'd expect from 12/3, but it is surprisingly flexible.
The connectors are sturdy.  The jacket feels substantial, but it left a coating of plastic-y gunk on my hands after handling it enough to wind it once into the storage bucket.  The Quick Winder RAP-100 easily wound the entire cord with room to spare, and it pairs excellently with this cord.

I run a computer network and have many, many, MANY cables that I have to deal with.
Every single cable I own now has a built in wire tie.
I've been using these for years (just came back for more).

It's funny that I'm all excited about wire ties, but I LOVE these.
They're basically perfect in every way.
Literally.
It's like they perfected the wire tie.

They cost less (much) than others.
I see ties at Staples or wherever for about $1 each.
Ooooh, a ten-pack for $8.99, what a deal. Hah!
These are what, $0.06 each?

The Velcro runs the ENTIRE LENGTH of the tie on both sides.
You can stick any part of one side to any part of the other side.
Or to any part of any another tie.

Each has a LOOP on the end so you can actually attach it to a cable (like a noose, sort of).
Then that cable always has a tie.
When the cable's in use, wrap the tie up into a little ring and forget it.
When the cable's not in use, bundle it, tie it with it's built-in wire tie, and store it.
Every cable I own now has a wire tie built in to it; power, usb, mouse/keyboard, ethernet, monitor, etc.

The loop and full length Velcro also let you stick ties together in any configuration you want.

Need a LONGER tie?
How about a five foot Velcro wire tie?  No problem.
Feed one through the loop of another about an inch, press together, repeat.
Daisy chain as many as you need.
Since each is fed through the loop of another, they grip each other from both sides.
That means they can't be pulled apart, they have to be sheared apart, which makes them very strong.

Need a STRONGER tie?
No problem, sandwich a few together.
Or make a long one like above and wrap it around the cables (or whatever) multiple times to form a layered ring.
Two layers, five layers, ten layers.
How strong do you want it?
