Travelon Secure-A-Bag Cable Ties

I use these on my checked luggage to keep zipper from opening, as well as offering a level of security from potential thieves.It's easy for security personnel to open if need be.

I have used these for years and find they work well & are an inexpensive alternative to locks. The zippers on my bags are secure and no more broken/lost locks that were supposed to be TSA approved. I have purchased them before, not only myself but for friends and family that travel frequently.

I got turned on to these many years ago as a way to determine if TSA had opened my check luggage. I also use them when using carry one on smaller planes that have to be stored on the Jet way. This assures that I have an extra layer of security. If I am checking anything at a hotel waiting for room assignment, etc., I just put one of these through along with the lock and I feel good that I can tell if someone with a "TSA" master key had opened my lock. May be overkill but also the colors help identify my luggage from others as well. Normally I purchased smaller amounts from luggage stores but this is a very good value.

OK. Simple. Simple. Simple. But very secure. Even if TSA has to open the luggage, it is better than paying for a lock that had to be cut off because their key didn't work. I even include some extra one inside in an envelope marked "TSA: If you had to open and inspect my luggage, PLEASE replace the cable tie with one of these." I use one color going and have extra ones for the return trip - a different color. If they had to replace one, I will know as soon as I glance at the luggage that a different color is on the luggage. I will carefully inspect the contents. Just a tip that works well.

Not quite what I was expecting; they are kind of thin but will be fine for minimally securing zippers on luggage. The proofreader must have been napping when they wrote the description: they are not 15.4" long, but more like 6" -- that's okay, still useable, didn't return, but eh?

I purchased these for my trip to Italy. This was easily the best $3 I spent for my trip. First, I didn't even buy locks for my luggage, I used these and then connected the zippers together so that if someone opened the bag they wouldn't be able to move the zipper (google how easily someone can use a pen to open your suitcase & zip it closed again without a trace) I took one carry on suitcase & didn't need these for the trip to Italy, but on the way home I checked my suitcase & zip tied the main zippers together and the front pocket zippers together, then I slid both sets of zippers to the side & zip tied all together.Additionally many places in Rome will not allow you to take your backpack inside (no warning - thanks tour guides) so I luckily had brought these with me & used them in the same fashion when checking my backpack at museums.One thing though - I was super careful to always make sure I had the clippers in my pocket so I could open them when I got my bags back.When I go on my next trip I will definitely take these with me.

Thinner than expected but still works fine with luggage.

I like to use it on my luggage accessories compartments to keep it sealed to prevent someone from tampering. It also comes in variety of colors. I used them a lot on my travels and easy to cut with a nail cutter when not needed.
