> zip ties have sharp "tails" that stick out from the bundle and cut your hands and arms when you reach into a compartment. The guy that ran a computer shop I used to frequent was an ex-Bell tech, and taught me about using flush-cut snips exactly to avoid this. They've been a part of my toolbox ever since. They're also my go-to cutting tool when working on small electronics.
