• About Just Cable Ties: A Family Business Built on 38 Years of Experience

    Meet Ed Oliver - Your Cable Tie Expert

    Hi, I'm Ed Oliver, and I've been working with cable ties for 38 years – longer than most people have been alive! I founded Just Cable Ties in 2012, but my journey with these brilliant little fasteners began way back in 1987.

    What started as just another product line quickly became my passion when I realized how these simple devices were quietly revolutionizing industries everywhere. From military aircraft to your home office, cable ties are the unsung heroes holding our world together.

    How We Make Sure You Get Quality Cable Ties

    Here's something most suppliers won't tell you: not all cable ties are created equal. After nearly four decades in this business, I've developed some pretty reliable ways to spot the good from the not-so-good.

    My Personal Testing Process

    I personally test every batch we receive. It might sound old-fashioned, but experience counts:

    • The feel test: After handling millions of cable ties, I can tell quality just by running one between my thumb and finger. The texture, flexibility, and consistency tell me everything I need to know.
    • The whip test: I take a handful by their tails and give them a good slam on a hard surface. Sounds brutal? It is! But quality ties will take the punishment, while brittle ones shatter. Better to find out in my warehouse than in your application.
    • Supplier relationships: Some of my supplier relationships go back 25+ years. When you've worked with manufacturers that long, you get the good stuff – not what's left over.

    Why This Matters to You

    When you buy from us, you're not just getting a cable tie – you're getting 38 years of expertise behind every single one. I've seen what happens when cheap ties fail, and it's not pretty.

    It's a Family Affair

    Just Cable Ties truly is a family business:

    • Ed Oliver (that's me!) - Founder and resident cable tie obsessive
    • Karen Oliver - My wife joined us in 2016 and keeps our inventory running like clockwork
    • Joe Oliver - Our son recently joined the team officially, but he's been around cable ties his whole life. Fresh ideas with deep product knowledge – the best of both worlds!

    We're not a faceless corporation – we're real people who genuinely care about getting you the right product for your job.

    What Makes Us Different

    Honest expertise: I won't oversell you. After 38 years, I know exactly what you need for your application – no more, no less.

    Real relationships: We've built genuine partnerships with manufacturers worldwide. This means better quality, better prices, and better service for you.

    Personal guarantee: Every cable tie that leaves our warehouse has my personal seal of approval. If it's not good enough for me to use, it's not good enough for you.

    A Quick Promise

    I'll be straight with you: We're not the cheapest (anyone claiming to be is probably fibbing), but we offer the best value on quality cable ties. The more we sell, the more we buy. The more we buy, the better our prices get. It's that simple.

    Need help choosing the right tie? Just give me a call. After 38 years, I've probably seen your application before and can point you in the right direction.

    Why I Love What I Do

    You might think it's odd to be passionate about cable ties, but here's the thing – these little fasteners solve real problems for real people every single day. Whether you're an electrician keeping wires neat, a gardener supporting plants, or someone just trying to organize their home office, we've got you covered.

    From aircraft carriers to kitchen drawers, cable ties are everywhere – and I'm proud to supply the ones that won't let you down.

    Want to chat about your cable tie needs? I'm always happy to help.
