UNIS 8 Pack Heavy Duty Large 13-inch Extension Cord Storage Extendable Cable Ties Strap Loop Hanger Organizer for Cable, Hose, Power Cord, and Rope

A Simple Fix for a Messy Shop

My garage used to be a tangle of extension cords, air hoses, and offcuts of rope draped over whatever nail or shelf edge was handy. I’ve tried bungees, zip ties, and a few wall-mounted gadgets, but nothing stuck—either too rigid or too fussy. The UNIS extension cord straps ended up being the small, inexpensive change that actually reshaped how I store and find things. They’re not flashy, just well-made hook-and-loop straps with a metal grommet for hanging—but that combination hits the sweet spot of strength, speed, and flexibility.

Build, Materials, and Design

Each strap is a compact strip of industrial-grade polypropylene and nylon with a high-density weave. The hook-and-loop closure has real bite; it feels closer to medical-grade than craft-store Velcro. The material is beefy but not stiff, and the edges aren’t abrasive, so they don’t scuff cord jackets.

The grommet is metal and rust-resistant. Mine live in a mixed environment—inside the garage, on a pegboard by a door that stays open in damp weather, and out in the shed. After weeks of use and a couple of wet mornings, there’s no discoloration, deformation, or fraying around the eyelet. The hole fits easily over pegboard hooks, screws, nails, and utility hooks.

UNIS ships these in an eight-pack, all black. At roughly 5.5 inches long per strap, they’re sized for everyday bundles—extension cords, garden hoses, coiled air lines, and rope. If I need to wrangle something bulkier, I link two straps together to roughly double the wrap length and the contact area. It’s a simple fix that the straps accommodate without fuss.

Setup and Everyday Use

Using them is as basic as it gets:
- Coil the cord or hose.
- Wrap a strap around the bundle and press the hook-and-loop closed.
- Hang the grommet on whatever you use for storage.

That’s it. The strap tension is easy to adjust: snug enough that coils don’t spill open, but not so tight that you kink an air hose or flatten a garden hose. The difference this makes over bungees is night and day—no spring-back, no awkward hooks, no surprises when something slips.

The compact size matters. I keep two in my tool bag, one in the truck, and a couple in the drawer by the compressor. They’re slim enough to disappear until you need them.

Capacity and Load Handling

UNIS rates each strap for up to 50 lb, and within the typical loads I handled, that felt realistic. I hung:
- A 100 ft 12/3 extension cord (heavy jacket) with one strap—no creep or movement over weeks.
- A 50 ft rubber air hose—one strap held fine; adding a second strap made the coil cleaner on the wall.
- A set of welding leads (combined weight ~25–30 lb)—no sag, no loosening.
- A heavy-duty tow rope (~15 lb)—no issues.

I pushed the limit by bundling several cords together to around the mid-30 lb range and hung them on a screw. The strap held securely; the limiting factor became the wall anchor, not the strap. It’s worth emphasizing: the system is only as strong as your hardware. If you’re hanging heavier coils, make sure your hooks or fasteners are up to it.

Hanging Systems and Compatibility

The metal grommet is the key to these straps. It’s wide and flush enough to slide over most hooks and pegboard accessories, which means you can standardize your storage across the garage. Pegboard, French cleats with hooks, and simple screws in studs all worked well. Because the strap hangs from a single point, it’s easy to move bundles around without unwrapping them.

One practical note: for very large-diameter coils (think thick 100 ft water hoses or large-diameter marine lines), a single strap can feel short. I simply use two straps—one at the top, one at the bottom—to keep the coil tidy and supported. You can also link two straps end-to-end for a larger wrap.

Durability and Weather

The straps are designed for indoor/outdoor use. Mine see dust, moist air, and a bit of sun. So far, the hook-and-loop still grips firmly, and the webbing hasn’t fuzzed or curled. I like that the grommet doesn’t chew into the strap material; the reinforcement around the eyelet looks properly crimped and hasn’t loosened.

I wouldn’t leave any hook-and-loop product in direct sun year-round and expect it to last forever—UV and grit will eventually win—but for normal garage or shed duty, these feel overbuilt for the job. A quick shake removes sawdust; if they get muddy, a rinse and air-dry brings them back.

Real-World Workflow Improvements

Two changes stood out after I reorganized with these straps:
- Faster deployment and cleanup: I can grab a cord off the wall, peel a strap, and be plugging in within seconds. Putting it away is just as fast, which means I actually put it away.
- Consistent coil sizes: The straps encourage a uniform coil diameter, so everything hangs neatly and doesn’t tangle with its neighbor.

I also labeled each strap with a paint pen—things like “compressor,” “outdoor,” or amperage notes for cords. Because the straps stay with the bundle, I get reliable, at-a-glance identification without tagging the cords themselves.

Where They Shine

• Extension cords, air hoses, garden hoses, and paracord or rope. The hook-and-loop is strong enough for weight without crushing softer materials.
• Mobile kits: toss a pair in a job box, RV, boat, or truck to tame cables on the go.
• Pegboard and wall systems where you want to standardize the hanging method without dedicated brackets for every tool.

What Could Be Better

• Length options: A second size (longer strap) would reduce the need to double up on bulkier coils. You can link straps, but a long version would be cleaner.
• Color choices: Black looks tidy, but color options would make visual sorting (or marking outdoor vs. indoor) even quicker.
• Published hole diameter: The grommet fits everything I’ve tried, but a spec would help people planning custom hook layouts.

None of these are deal-breakers; they’re wish-list items that would make an already capable product even more versatile.

Tips for Best Results

• Coil first, then strap: Don’t rely on the strap to force a messy coil into submission—your bundle will hang flatter and last longer if you coil it properly.
• Use two straps for wide or heavy coils: One near the top, one near the bottom prevents a “droop” that can distort hoses.
• Label the straps: A paint marker or small wrap label on the strap makes identification quick and keeps cords clean.
• Match the hardware to the load: A 50 lb-rated strap won’t save you from a small drywall anchor. Use proper hooks or screws into studs.

Verdict

The UNIS extension cord straps are a straightforward, well-executed solution to a problem most shops and garages share. They’re strong, easy to use, and flexible enough to adapt to different storage systems without a pile of dedicated hardware. The materials feel genuinely industrial, the grommeted hang point is a smart touch, and the eight-pack is enough to make a meaningful dent in the chaos.

I recommend these straps. They help you store more in less space, get tools into play faster, and keep wear-and-tear off your cords and hoses. If you handle oversized coils regularly, plan on using two straps or linking them—but for everyday cord, hose, and rope management, this is one of those small purchases that pays off every time you reach for a cable.
