Drove a staple through my thumb last Tuesday, but that zip tie trick saved the job
I was fishing Cat6 through a drop ceiling in an old office building and my staple gun jammed up. Has anyone else tried pre-loading zip ties along the cable path before you start pulling?

That zip tie trick saves so much time when you're running multiple lines through tight spaces.

Wait @oscarc12, do you zip the tails or cut them flush first?

Holy crap, you really mean that? I thought I was the only one who still did stuff the old way with a bunch of tape and swearing. I gotta see this zip tie trick, man. Like you just strap them together and shove them through a hole? That's genius, honestly. I've wasted so much time fishing one line at a time through a cramped space, getting my hand stuck and ripped up. Send me a link or a video or something, because my brain is blown right now.
