Just a small tip to those who use zip ties to clean up your cable job. When finished, you often end up with the little tail of the zip tie sticking out. You might think scissors, but no! Go into the bathroom and grab yourself a pair of nail clippers, the big kind meant for your toes. These work wonders to closely clip the excess zip tie and make a smooth surface for cut-free hands.

I just use copper wire snippers; whatever floats your boat.
