Hey, I’m Donald Bell for Cool Tools, and in this video we’re going to take a look at 5 different types of cable wrap. As a maker, I use this stuff to gather and protect wires in my projects, but it’s also good for managing cables from your computer or TV. I was surprised to learn there were so many different types of this stuff–velcro, spiral, split, braided tube. I’m going to show you what each one is like. I have links for everything in the description. And by using those links you help support my videos and the Cool Tools blog.
