When it’s time to cut the plastic Zip-tie off of something, Don’t cut the head off. Look at it and cut the tail off very close to where it is inserted into the mouth of the Zip-tie head. This leaves the head attached to a long tail that can be re-inserted when you re-use the Zip-tie. To preserve as much of the tail for several more re-uses, wrap it twice or more times around the next object you are zip-tying. This leaves you with only a small amount that will have to be cut off next time to release the Zip-tie. P.S. Wrapping a Zip-tie twice around something doubles the strength. You can probably guess what triple wrapping it does.
