Thumbs up Tip: Keeping my washers straight

I needed a way of organinzing the washers that come in various bags from Van's and hit on the idea of putting them on a tywrap. I put a lable on the tywrap and can also interlink the tywraps with AN-960 on one loop and the AN-960L's hooked together on another loop as in the picture.

Dick,

Great idea. Do you use the tywrap that you can undo, or do you use a new one everytime you have to get a washer?

Take care,

Jim

Default Keeping my washers straight

If you noticed I just stuck the tab in till is starts to ratchet and leave it. When I need to use one I cut it as close to the ratchet part as I can, take as many washers as I need and stick it back into the ratchet till it ratchets again.

The releaseable tywraps would make more sense but I got a ton of tywraps.

Dick,

Great idea that I never thought about! I agree with you, as I bought a tub of tywraps last week at HD.

Take care,

Jim
