So, it's a overpriced plastic strap.

Can get 10 m polypropylene strap or ratchet straps for $10 that does the same job and holds more.

Alternately, just loop many zip ties together when you need more length.

Doh.

This is one of those lessons games like factorio teach you.

For example, at some point you should replace super fast conveyor belts with trains (because of distance) or robots (because of density).

Every paradigm gets stretched too far and you have to change your thinking.

It depends on what you’re doing. If you want to do an artsy hogtie real fast, those other options are kinda meh.

I don’t know. It feels like a really large zip tie would be hard to easily tighten, as in it would need a lot of force that you wouldn’t be able to easily put on it. Ratchet straps are the gold standard for this situation.

Applying too much force cuts off circulation and can lead to severe bad outcomes for the hogtieee.

Best is ‘firm and unyielding’ not ‘I can’t feel my hands anymore’. Easy enough to do in a few seconds with a big zip tie.
