After a stint in Wisconsin where metal staples are apparently forbidden, I got used to, and are rather fond of the plastic cable straps, the ones with two nails and a heavy NM strap between them...

I special order them, and with Joe Musser, we're the only EC's around here that use them. They drive easier, with less finger strikes, look neater, and at least seem safer. Are harder to "over-drive" them. No rust stains over time either.

Oh, Watt Doc, your salutations always make me chuckle...
