I've tried dozens of cable organizing gadgets out there, but nothing really did exactly what I wanted. I saw the Cable Buddy and thought I'd give it a try. Turns out, this is probably the BEST cable organizing product I've ever used! It's a pretty simple idea, but it is very effective and one of the only products I've ever seen that really gets cable management right. For example, some products will over-tighten your cords, as you wind them tightly around and around some plastic object (which most pros will agree is NOT good for cords if you want them to last). Others are bulky, do not label, and do not stay on the cable once you unwrap it so it just ends up getting lost. Furthermore, I've spent $4.95 and up for products that just wrap up a single cable, which can get expensive if you have many cables and cords (like I do).

Cable Buddy is small, easy to use, adjusts to fit on a wide range of different size cables, and allows you to securely wrap your cables into bundles that are just right. Bungees are thick and feel quite durable, stretching to accommodate most bundle sizes (easily snaps into side slots to cinch smaller size bundles). It's quicker to wrap and unwrap than Velcro and looks better too. If that wasn't enough, the color-coded labels and dots work great, a great time-saving system that helps me stay organized. Great product. Great quality. Great value! I'll be getting more of these, but most likely, by the 50-packs. Highly recommended!

Easy to use and effective. With the time and frustration that they save me, I would say that they're worth every penny! I do a lot of traveling with my equipment for work, and I've tried many different solutions out there... including Velcro, wraps, ties, clamps, clips, and turtles. So far, this is one of the most simple, effective and versatile cable management solutions I've found.

What I like about this product:

First, it adjusts to attach securely onto many different types of cables and wraps/unwraps bundles even more easily, and faster than Velcro! (and I love Velcro).

Secondly, the robust labeling system works great! It helps me quickly identify the cables I'm looking for and speeds up equipment set-up time. I still use the cheaper twist ties and Velcro for some things, for example, like for tying up certain cables behind my TV that I hardly ever touch. But for cables that I use and unplug often, Cable Buddy works the best, hands down. I even have them on many of my power tools. Very happy with this product!

Oh my gosh - how could these have passed me by all these years? Where have they been? Since I received these I have been a mad woman running around folding up cords, labelling, and color coding devices with little dots. It has been quite the challenge the last few years with a growing abundance of adaptors, devices, cables & all the whatnots that come with devices nowadays. My biggest challenge has been when travelling & I can't remember if I can use one adaptor for multiple devices. Now all I have to do is check the color dot on the device with the color label on the cord and I'm quickly off to more packing. An excellent system!
