They're also good, though as you mention, a bit hard to find at times. Trickier to release while wearing gloves, too. For completeness I should also mention the "official" industry version, the Lowel-Clip. Lowel-Clips have the advantage of a one-handed pull-to-release action, though they can be finicky to attach in the first place and require two hands to cinch down. Velcro ties are attractive until you attach them to long cables strung through bunches of other cables. When pulling the cables at the end of the gig, the velcro does what it does best -- grabs onto anything it can. It has a tendency to wrap around adjacent cables and hook back onto itself, or grab the velcro on the next cable over. Grr. Velcro also picks up any stray cat hair on the set.
